Soup & Sound

Soup & Sound Soup & Sound presents music and related activity live and via recordings and video. Soup & Sound

Soup & Sound began as a house concert series in Brooklyn, New York and has expanded to the Different Track Recordings record label and the Soup & Sound Online video series. From 2009 to January 2020 we presented over 130 house concerts---each with a free pot of fine homemade soup--in our Brooklyn home, and about 20 more in neighborhoods around Brooklyn and in other cities in the US and Germany. We

present great musicians, writers, dancers, and visual artists--well-known and obscure--to appreciative listeners in a comfortable environment with a casual vibe and have become destination for performers and audiences internationally. In 2018 and 2019 we partnered with the Jazztopad Festival from Wrocław, Poland presenting Polish musicians in Brooklyn and a US musician in Poland. In 2019 we co-presented the trio Karuna (Hamid Drake, Adam Rudolph, and Alexis Marcelo) at the Lincoln Center Atrium. When the covid-19 pandemic hit we had to cancel all of our scheduled activity but as of late 2020 we have transitioned to presenting video online, many of them commissioned by our non-profit organization, Continuum Culture & Arts. The Soup & Sound Online video series will soon be presenting videos online--details coming soon. Visit our website: www.soupandsound.org for up to date information.

In my neighborhood in Brooklyn this weekend is the biggest of the year, and it ain't Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or the Fourth of July...it's carnaval aka West Indian Day. It has to be experienced to be believed.

Approximately two million people flock here annually for a weekend where this part of Brooklyn kinda becomes one giant block party, for the parades, the Panorama steel pan competition, and the good vibes.

If you ever get a chance, I highly recommend attending J'ouvert and the scene outside of the Panorama competition--on the side streets while the bands set up and rehearse. I think it's one of the greatest expressions of US culture there is--a total celebration that is multi-generational, super welcoming, full of amazing creativity (the pan music is phenomenal of course but so are the homemade costumes, the food). It's got deep African roots that are allowed to flower in amazing beautiful ways, it's multi-generational...

On Friday night at about 10 Alissa and I finally headed outside after hours of hearing music, and just the energy in the street, as we always do on August weekend evenings. The group, Lefferts Lymerz, was playing just down the street so I grabbed my little JCR charanga bell (my go to for parades cuz it always fits in and its so portable) and a stick and headed over. I was sure I'd run into some friends I made last year when I jammed with them for two or three hours during J'ouvert.

Sure enough we grooved right a way and our relationship has been solidified. One Nation Under a Groove is a very real thing. Music is a universal language. I feel so blessed to have been able to orient so much of my life around The Drum... It is a key that opens so many interesting doors.

Anyway, I'll be playing cowbell with the Lefferts Lymerz from 4am to about 11am starting late Sunday night (technically Monday morning).

This video shows just a tiny taste of Friday night, which is a tiny taste of what was going on dozens of blocks.

Last night's show was exhilarating. I'm very happy with the music (Terry/Joe/Reggie were so good to hear, and my Tentet). Definitely want to continue with more Tentet activity asap. Gotta finish my film and create some more opportunities for us to perform.

And we had such a nice audience! Super appreciative. We were under some time constraints and it might have been a little short but then Filiano and did an encore and the feeling in the room was powerful.

I never know how many people will show up but in this day and age, especially when I haven't been pushing my own bandleading and recording super hard, 70+ feels great.

Today we are doing part 2 of Soup & Sound #200: grilling in the backyard, hanging, and then at 4 it's a pool of improvisers with more fabulous friends: DoYeon Kim, Gwen Laster, Sarah Bernstein, Tessa Brinckman, Sarah Hughes, Mara Rosenbloom, plus Ash's (my fabuloso kid who folks have seen at my gigs since baby days) band Tricycle with the fabulous Chai who has been Soup & Sound's production & sound director for the last few years.

This spring has been busy like few other seasons have been for me, but now I'm over the hump. Today will be chill and I'm taking a break starting tomorrow and will be ready for more

Continuum Culture and Arts has presented more than 500 cutting edge artists from six continents over the course of 200+ Soup & Sound performances in the past fifteen years. Celebrate this achievement with us on June 29 & 30!

In its first decade, Soup & Sound was a house concert series in Brooklyn and every performance was accompanied by a pot of excellent homemade soup, contributing in a tangible way to a spirit of community nourishment and sustenance. In 2019, we expanded to regularly present in community gardens, libraries, parks, churches, and bars around Brooklyn, leading to partnerships with other non-profits, and performances co-presented with Lincoln Center and other organizations in Manhattan, the Bronx, Maine, Europe, and North and South America. At the end of June, we’re celebrating our 200th Soup & Sound performance!
