Ten curated Scope NYC picks for Friday, July 24.
Warm Up at PS1 is a real summer Friday signal, and this bill stretches from Wackies history into sharper electronic edges.
Cindy Blackman Santana and Patricia Brennan at the Bandshell make this a strong outdoor live pick with more range than a standard park concert.
A timed OSMOS opening around Bev Grant's 1969 Cuba photographs gives the art lane a social, historically charged stop.
Metrograph's martial-arts repertory slot gives the shortlist one sharp film pick without letting movies take over the day.
Anthology gives this screening a more pointed curatorial frame than the obvious Friday-night film options.
The Jazz Gallery gives Garabedian's quintet a musician-first setting, with enough downtown credibility to stand above the routine club sets.
A Yaeji DJ set at 99 Scott has proper Brooklyn night-out pull, polished enough to travel for but still tied to a dance-floor crowd.
Eartheater at Bowery Ballroom brings a stranger art-pop charge to a familiar room, making it one of the more distinctive live options.
Davis, Sorey, and Laubrock at the Vanguard is the night's serious jazz center, the sort of trio that rewards close listening.
Joe's Pub is exactly where a cabaret pick can feel like a real late plan instead of filler, especially with a title this direct.
