We are Under the Stars, a quasi-weekly column that stays on message with strong-ass opinions, presenting new music releases and upcoming shows. MIDYEAR MUSIC NOTABLESIt’s August, and many things are happening in the live music and festival spaces these days, but I just wanted to drop a mid-year rewind. Salute to Jeff Parker and SML, who just keep expanding the sound of jazz by keeping it ever-evolving. Busting fiery wordplay live and direct from his daughter’s bedroom, Ktown is back with that art from the heart. From Jane Fonda’s low-impact “dance aerobics” tempos to early and late Cure twang, throw in some Pylon too.
