  • Bright Dog Red will appear at nublu 151, playing in support of their Ropeadope Records releases, “Under the Porch."


    Celebrated for “sublimely marrying jazz with hip-hop, funk, and electronic music" (JazzTimes), Bright Dog Red has long been “a fixture on the NYC jazz and improvisation scene” (Jazz Journal). The group’s "proudly unanchored improvisation" (Downbeat) has been described as “part Ornette Coleman and Prime Time, part Lounge Lizards, part A Tribe Called Quest” (JazzTimes).


    BDR will play in support of their most recent offering, "Under the Porch," released earlier this year on Ropeadope and awarded 4-stars in Downbeat. The group specializes in "genre-agnostic, uncategorizable, and intensely thrilling" improvisation (Glide Magazine). BDR "can potentially appeal to jam-band, funk, rock, or hip-hop devotees ready to raise the roof" (JazzTimes).
