City Winery Boston
A new collection of unreleased demos, live performances, and studio recordings puts Crenshaw’s enduring pop gifts in the spotlight ahead of his November 11 appearance at Boston’s City Winery.
The saxman and his usual band (including vocalist Patrice Quinn instead of the billed Ami Taf Ra) easily adapted to the 200-seat venue, barely modulating their visceral delivery while also highlighting their softer dynamics and a personal rapport.
The Brit-born iteration of mind-expansion music — from Syd Barrett onward — favors clever wordplay and musical accessibility.
