Luminescent Orchestrii
Caffe Lena
Saratoga Springs, NY
We were smart enough to know wed run into something special when we first heard the Luminescent Orchestrii, but their Caff Lena debut last spring surpassed all expectations. This hot NYC quartet eats up and spits out Romanian gypsy melodies, punk frenzy, salty tangos, hard-rocking klezmer, haunting Balkan harmony, hip-hop beats and Appalachian fiddle tunes.
Playing a couple violins, resophonic guitar, bullhorn harmonica and bass, the diverse members are Sxip Shirey, an international circus composer, Sarah Alden, an old-time fiddle player, Rima Fand, an experimental theater composer, and Benjy Fox-Rosen, a free-jazz bassist.
Every piece they perform smacks of tradition and adventure--a delightful blend for folk fans seeking something new.
Note: Caffe Lena is an all-ages listening room that does not serve alcohol. Desserts, light fare, and organic fair-trade coffee are offered at all shows.
