TimeOutNY.com: Heads Up

Led by bassist Mike Rivard (formerly of Either/Orchestra, Morphine and the Story), Boston collective Club D’Elf begins in the gray area between Live Dead and Get Up with It and heads for uncharted territory on its newly issued Live Vassar Chapel 2/26/01 (Kufala). That set benefits from the contributions of oud player Brahim Fribgane and violinist Mat Maneri, neither of whom will be on hand tonight; still, with John Medeski making a return visit and friends like Marc Ribot and Adam Deitch dropping by, plenty of sparks should fly.
