Miguel Zenón – Harlem Stage, Gatehouse Theatre – November 10, 2011
Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute has introduced me to an incredible assortment of venues, and this one was as stunning as any – The Gatehouse is a former component of the city’s water supply system, and the theater is upstairs in the tower section. Zenón is a recent recipient of the MacArthur “genius” grant, and his combo has a seamless high energy approach to his latest project, Alma Adentro: The Puerto Rican Songbook. Cole’s drum solo was especially noteworthy, full of sharp attacks and false anticipations.
