Jazz Meets Indie: Denison Witmer + The Daniel Bennett Group in Boston, November 9

File this under "strange." Philadelphia-based indie folk star Denison Witmer is performing in Boston with avante-folk saxophonist Daniel Bennett at the famed Rutman's Violin Shop (11 Westland Ave, Boston) on November 9. Witmer added the date as part of his larger fall tour schedule that is already under way.

Boston-based Daniel Bennett Group plays experimental folk-jazz. Bennett's music sounds like a mix of Steve Reich, Paui Desmond, and Bill Frisell. The show is being produced by Bennett Alliance, a collective of musicians that produce concerts across the northeast. Bennett Alliance is known for organzing concerts that are ecclectic and sometimes bizarre.

The most notable Bennett Alliance production was the annual Open Fest in Rochester, NY. This year's Open Fest featured Colin Stack (classical composer) and LA-based electronica group Joy Electric. The Rutman's show is already the talk of the town in Boston.

Doors open at 7pm and admission is just $8 at the door. This is a must-see for those of us seeking variety, or simply searching for the bizarre.
