Ten curated Scope NYC picks for Sunday, May 3.
Long Play closing out at Roulette with Feldman, Trevor Dunn, Bang on a Can, and Secret Chiefs 3 is the Sunday option with real range.
A daytime Ruins bill with Ahmed Spins and Alex Wann gives the dance calendar a proper outdoor-leaning centerpiece.
Interrobang is a small enough gallery signal that a 5 PM opening there still feels like a real Brooklyn art-world errand.
BAM's History as Hashtag program gives this screening a sharper frame than a standard issue-driven documentary slot.
Katie Tupper at Bowery Ballroom is the polished singer-songwriter pick without drifting into a generic Sunday concert.
Oklou and Ninajirachi make Terminal 5 feel less blunt than usual, with a softer electronic bill that should pull a sharp crowd.
This Close Up lineup has enough young-player density to make the early set feel like a live jazz check-in rather than a default club listing.
Lovano at the Vanguard remains the cleanest classic jazz anchor on the night, especially against a crowded Sunday feed.
Club d'Elf turning an album release into a Brooklyn Bowl night should be loose, rhythm-heavy, and more interesting than another straight jam bill.
A Bell House variety benefit has enough built-in community energy to stand out from the usual Sunday comedy spread.
