no.006 New York Performances

no.006 arrives at the Knitting Factory with a bill that pairs J. Ludvig III and Chuck Roth in a Rock/Pop frame, even as their backgrounds tug the music in different directions. Roth comes out of classical practice, attentive to shape and continuity, with prior appearances in New York rooms like Roulette and a working method that favors the sound of bodies in a live space over online reach. Ludvig, an emerging jazz-leaning artist, meets that discipline with improviser’s timing. The result reads less like a crossover pitch than a document of how NYC scenes still overlap in real time.
