Marty Isenberg’s The Way I Feel Inside at Joe’s Pub

Marty Isenberg’s The Way I Feel Inside blends the whimsical, offbeat charm of Wes Anderson's iconic mixtapes and cinematic language with his own personal story.

Downbeat Magazine’s glowing 4.5 star review says its "pitch perfect" and Vintage Guitar Magazine raves, “It’s a fascinating concept, executed splendidly”.

Bryce Edwards and Mike Davis: Hot Combination at Birdland
Sunday June 7 at 5:30 pm
Vaudevillian troubadour Bryce Edwards (of Birdland’s critically acclaimed Frivolity Hour) and New York’s premiere “antimodernist” cornetist Mike Davis (of The New Wonders--praised as an “eloquent trumpet prodigy” by The Wall Street Journal) are coming together to celebrate the centennial of one of jazz’s hottest overlooked duos! A mainstay of New York studio groups in the 1920s, Red Nichols’ cool tone, inventive cornet language, and avant-garde arrangements seem to set up an alternate jazz future that never was; and though the ukulele-toting, mouth-trumpeting Cliff Edwards (who would later voice Jiminy Cricket in Pinocchio) may seem like a jazz age oddity at first blush, he was one of the era’s most innovative and jazz-forward pop vocalists and an early pioneer of scat singing (albeit in his own inimitably bizarre way). In 1925, these two singular musical voices combined forces to make some of the most infectious records of the 20s, and now, one hundred years later, Mike Davis and Bryce Edwards are joining forces to pay tribute and introduce the 21st century to these all-too-often forgotten figures.
Tickets: Tickets start at $35.46 including fees. There is a $20 food/drink minimum per person.
