Tonight

Haruomi HosonoTonightDanceListeningJazz
In Sheep's Clothing Hi-Fi · Los Angeles
  • Intimate Listening Setup

Haruomi Hosono puts a wide ranging catalog across folk, electronic, pop, ambient, and global sounds out front. The Thursday night has enough musical detail to compare honestly with the larger bills.

The WarningTonightIndie
The Fonda Theatre · Hollywood
  • Theater-Scale Room

The Warning is built around a heavy touring profile. The Thursday night sells itself through the music on Thursday.

Cold CaveTonightOffbeatIndie
Hollywood Forever · Hollywood
  • General Live-Music Room

Cold Cave feels strongest when one part of the arrangement clicks early. This compact Thursday set has enough detail to earn a second look.

The FellTonightIndie
Whisky a Go Go · West Hollywood
  • Larger Theater Or Hall

The Fell is a guitar set built on volume, edges, and immediacy. For Thursday, the Thursday night lands better when the songs announce themselves quickly.

Blue Note Los Angeles · Hollywood
  • Seated

CHIEF ADJUAH STRIKES BACK is about players in real time, touch, timing, and interplay you can hear. Blue Note Los Angeles rewards sets that get specific before the room starts drifting.

GordiTonightOffbeatIndie
Zebulon · Frogtown
  • Standing room

Gordi feels strongest when one part of the arrangement clicks early. Zebulon rewards sets that get specific before the room starts drifting.

Hollywood Bowl · Hollywood Hills
  • Outdoor Amphitheater

Ravel, Debussy & Saint-Saëns is a jazz set where the band texture matters as much as the tunes. The Thursday music is more convincing when the band gives the songs a clear shape early.
