The New Yorker and Rockwood
John Donohue gave us a very nice write-up in this week’s New Yorker for the show this Thursday at Rockwood. It’s also our first extended mention in The New Yorker. My favorite magazine on the planet.
.. her perserverance became the inspiration for Jacob’s lush new album, “Pain Is A Reliable Signal.” On songs like “The Mayo Clinic” and “Dirty White Coats”, Jacobs transforms the ordeal into three-minute philosophical meditations formed around simple chord changes, laid-back tempos, and his sensitive baritone vocals. A first-rate band that includes Katie Scheele, on oboe and English horn, Dan Levine, on trombone and euphonium, and Stan Harrison, on saxophones and flute, provides harmonically lush accompaniment.
Blessed and endorsed by the world’s best magazine. Thursday, December 3rd. Rockwood Music Hall. 184 Allan Street. 9pm sharp.
