Not even the broiling heat can stop them.

A surprising amount of stuff happening in the heat of summer, and for folks who can swing it, the Sonic Circuits Festival (DC) (featuring Janel & Anthony, Ergo, Alec K. Redfearn and the Eyesores) and NYX : New York Experimental and Prog Music Festival (NYC) (featuring Afuche) both look like total winners!

There's some rare chances to see the Sao Paulo Underground in the USA in September (we only know one date, but there are more coming), Wadada Leo Smith in Brasil and the UK, Ray Russell in London, Jason Robinson's all-star Janus Ensemble, Thinking Plague, Birdsongs of the Mesozoic at Progday, Claudia at Newport with Kurt Elling (woooo) and a whole lot more.
