The Redwood Jazz Alliance presents another promising show at the Arcata Playhouse tonight at 8 p.m. Allison, Cardenas & Nash is a trio of musicians who play bass, guitar and saxophone respectively without the assistance of a drummer, which is both more challenging and freeing than a casual listener would know. There is something absolutely golden about beat-less jazz played by musicians who listen to each other in ways plant life and schools of ocean creatures understand. I’m listening to their latest offering, Triological, while writing this, and it is a masterful tapestry that I can only imagine is fantastic live. Find out for yourself; tickets are going for a sliding scale $15-$20.
Music Tonight: Thursday, April 2
