Brian Wilson played the Highline Ballroom [Sunday] night as part of its sister club's month-long Blue Note Jazz Festival , and though the two-set show featured his entire current Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin album of Gershwin standards, it wasn't jazz, really, but no less demanding--and rewarding. The Beach Boys' beloved creative genius brought a 12-piece band of multi-instrumentalists/vocalis ts--and a local female string section--and all lived up to his contention that it's one of his best bands ever. The Gershwin album, which was conceived under the aegis of his hero George [...]

It's always good to see 2 highly respected MC's still do things like this. You'll even hear Ye doing some freestyle singing at the very beginning as well. Also below you can stream Lupe performing "Kick, Push" [...]
