Sexmob at 30
About This Event
Billed as "Sexmob at 30," the New York–based ensemble comes to Dizzy's Club led by Steven Bernstein. Formed as a Knitting Factory vehicle for Bernstein's slide trumpet, Sexmob is known for reworking familiar pop songs into humorous, avant-garde arrangements — a deliberate return to the jazz practice of disassembling and reassembling standards.
