Description
Just a heads up for this show: it might include getting stalked by a pale woman in a huge black dress. (Which must be what Tim Burton's life is like?) Boston five piece Jaggery combines a dark, Broadway musical theatricality with spare jazz inflections to create appealingly otherworldly music. They've been called avant-chamber pop in the past, and rightly so. With a backing of harp, viola, upright bass and percussion, frontwoman Singer Mali can wail like a ghost, and she's been known to emerge from behind her piano to creep through the crowd. Jaggery is currently on the road in support of their live album, For the Record, their most recent after two LPs and two EPs in years past. (SL)
