  1. READER SUBMITTED: The Flowering Of A Base Ball Field

    Hartford
    The 1870s was a decade when the Industrial Revolution was in full swing and the sport of base ball (yes, it was two words back then) was being played in earnest by everyone from young lads and men's social clubs to women's college teams. In fact, base...

  3. Open Studios: Hartford's Visual Feast

  4. CT.com Interview: Ben Ratliff, New York Times Music Critic

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">Ben Ratliff, jazz and pop critic for <em>The New York Times</em> since 1996 and the author of three books of jazz criticism, has the rare ability to write about avant-garde jazz, doom-metal, indie rock, hip-hop, and probably a dozen or so other musical genres with clarity and insight. He reviews hundreds of concerts and new releases a year. And even though Ratliff writes for a general readership, most of whom are not fluent in the technical languages of music analysis, he does so without ever dumbing anything down. </span>

  5. Crowell Concert Hall in Middletown Presents 'Voices of Afghanistan' on Sept. 28

    Wesleyan's year-long Music and Public Life series offers up Voices of Afghanistan as its inaugural event, featuring ghazals by virtuosic master vocalist Ustad Farida Mahwash, sawol-jawab (&quot;questions and answers") by rub&acirc;b (lute) shredder Homayoun Sakhi, and music by members of the Sakhi Ensemble (Khalil Ragheb on harmonium, Zmarai Aref on Afghan tabla, Abbos Kosimov on frame drum and Pervez Sakhi on flute). This is a supergroup, a summit of the best Afghan musicians in North America, and it's not that far away. A promising start to a musical series that should enrich many lives.

  6. Plume Giant CD Release Party, Sept. 1st at Wesleyan

    Indie neo-folk trio Plume Giant, who'll play a release show for their debut full-length, <em>Callithump</em>, at Wesleyan on Saturday, have Connecticut roots. Oliver Hill (guitar, viola, voice), Nolan Green (guitar, harmonium, voice) and Eliza Bagg (violin, harmonium, trinkets, voice) met as Yale students (Hill and Bagg, classical music lineage firmly in place, were both music majors), and they've returned to CT regularly since then. Their songs (they write them together) have been compared favorably to Bowerbirds, Dirty Projectors, Sea Wolf and Dan Hicks, and they've toured with some other folks you might have heard of &mdash; Brown Bird, Sharon Van Etten, Paper Bird, Sean Rowe and He's My Brother She's My Sister. <em>Callithump </em>was recorded with engineer James Frazee, who's worked with the Hold Steady, The Walkmen and Son Volt. Should be pretty raucous, in an acoustic-cool sort of way.

  7. Alma Moyo performs at Wesleyan University's CFA Courtyard on July 5

    Born out of a 2002 jam session in the South Bronx, Afro-Puerto Rican music ensemble Alma Moyo have kept the beats alive. Their sound is full of driving rhythms and harmonies that are hard to resist by remaining still. They perform July 5 at Wesleyan's CFA Courtyard as part of the university's summer arts programming. <strong><em></em></strong>

  8. RISK! at Wesleyan's Crowell Concert Hall on Feb. 10

    Want a Friday night experience unlike anything else going on? You should trek up to Middletown this Friday for <em>RISK!</em> at Wesleyan University's Crowell Concert Hall. It's the brainchild of Kevin Allison, whom you may recognize from MTV's watchable programming era in the mid-'90s when he wrote and performed on &quot;The State." Comedian W. Kamau Bell (pictured) and members of the Wesleyan community will share personal stories that were most likely never intended to be shared in public, and you will laugh and be amazed and also touched. Both of the night's performances will see Allison as host. It's gonna be a bumpy ride, so buckle up. <strong><em></em></strong>
