Jon Madof Trio - Tzadik Records Album Release, The Modulators & Golem
About This Event
The Modulators—working at the edge of rock/pop and jazz, with roots in power pop, proto‑punk and jangle pop—bring concise, band‑first dynamics to Nublu. They share the bill with the Jon Madof Trio, presenting a Tzadik Records album release, and Golem, creating a program that juxtaposes listening‑room jazz approaches with tighter, song‑based forms.
About Tzadik Records Album Release
At Nublu, the Jon Madof Trio marks a new Tzadik Records release in a set built around guitar-driven jazz and tight ensemble exchange. They share the night with The Modulators, whose rock-pop lineage meets improvisational logic, and with Golem, a New York fixture known for reworking Eastern European repertoire through a downtown lens. The program moves between club electricity and close-listening detail, treating genre as a working method rather than a boundary. One clear throughline is how NYC’s small-room stages keep new music in public circulation.
