SHOWDOWN: Live Music in Philly from May 14-20

POSTED: Monday, May 14, 2012, 1:00 PM

Filed Under: Music The Showdown

Every Monday, James Friel rounds up the week's sure-bet live shows.

Monday: With just a trumpet and drum kit, the Chicago Underground Duo are considered a jazz ensemble, but their latest album, Boca Negra, encompasses multiple genres. The record has a thread of simplicity not unlike folk music, but it also contains bursts of polyrhythmic improvisation from the percussion/vibraphone. 8 p.m., $15, Philadelphia Art Alliance, 251 S. 18th St., 215-545-4302.
