Composer/pianist Timo Andres gives a solo recital at Wethersfield Estate and Garden in Amenia, New York, on Saturday. The program, inspired by his recent Carnegie Hall debut, includes works by Duke Ellington, a Phillip Glass étude, and Frederic Rzewski’s Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues, and Andres’ own Fiddlehead, which was commissioned by Carnegie Hall. The concert is co-presented by Metropolis Ensemble, which performs on Andres’ new album, The Blind Banister, released earlier this year on Nonesuch. The album comprises three of his works: the titular piano concerto (a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2016), with Andres as soloist, and Upstate Obscura for chamber orchestra and cello, with soloist Inbal Segev—both of which feature Metropolis Ensemble and conductor Andrew Cyr—and the solo piano piece Colorful History, also performed by Andres. “Original and arresting,” says the Guardian’s four-star album review. “It’s a highly accomplished disc all round.”

Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, whose new six-song EP, Into the Wild, is out today, have a festival-filled weekend in three different regions of the US, with sets at the Highland Festival Grounds in Louisville, Kentucky, on Friday, for Bourbon & Beyond; Francis Field in St. Augustine, Florida, on Saturday, for Sing Out Loud Festival; and MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts, on Sunday, for FreshGrass. Tuttle and the band have been nominated for eight IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards, including Album of the Year for their latest, City of Gold.

Percussionist, producer, and composer Makaya McCraven performs at Rose Bowl Tavern in Urbana, Illinois, tonight, as part of PYGMALION 2024. McCraven’s latest album, In These Times, released in 2022, made several year's best album lists, including those of Pitchfork (“a high-water mark”), NPR Music's Nate Chinen (“the culmination of a years-long experiment in groove ... just might be Makaya McCraven's manifesto”), and Treble (“McCraven's masterwork”).

Guitarist/composer Jeff Parker and his Trio—Jeremiah Chiu on modular synth and Ben Lumsdaine on drums—perform at Arrowood Farms in Accord, New York, on Saturday, as part of the Woodsist Festival. Parker’s 2021 album, Forfolks, was declared “a beautifully freewheeling, guitar-driven expression of joy and musical exploration,” by Guitar World, “a masterpiece of improvisation.” Pitchfork, including the album in its list of The 50 Best Albums of 2022, says, “like the best of his work, it is quiet yet commanding, an invitation to drift as well as dream.”

---

Cécile McLorin Salvant and her band—pianist Adam Birnbaum, bassist Yasushi Nakamura, and drummer Savannah Harris—perform at the Newman Center for Performing Arts in Denver, Colorado, on Sunday. Salvant was named Female Vocalist of the Year in the DownBeat Critics Poll, and her latest album, Mélusine, made the Jazz Albums of the Year list. “The massively creative vocalist delivers a tour de force in several languages recounting the legend of Mélusine,” the magazine says.
