The Ark
1/22/2010 8:00 PM at The Macpodz
316 S. Main St., Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104
Cost: $15
"You can dance to jazz . . . again," promise the Macpodz, who throw a party with class to get your weekend started. Call their music jazz-rock, as some have, or disco-bebop, as they themselves do: the bottom line is that their music is varied, tight, sophisticated, and extremely fun rhythmically. This Ann Arbor band falls into a tradition going back to Miles Davis and Frank Zappa, but they push the boundaries of rock, jazz, and fusion music to create something new that’s gaining admirers all over the country. Among the raves the Macpodz have earned is one from the Toledo City Paper, which heard "lots and lots of swinging horn licks that rouse and comfort all at once." Last year’s fabulous Macpodz show was recorded and has been released as a new album, "Live from The Ark."
