Feb. 2
Two of the most active performers in New Orleans' improvisational music circuit, saxophonist Brad Walker (pictured) and twisted timekeeper Simon Lott (drums) create scattered, paranoid nighttime atmospherics — foggy SOSes, leaves rustling, a basketball dribbling — from everyday instruments. WATIV, Will Thompson's quartet with Lott, guitarist Chris Alford and bassist James Singleton, opens. Call for ticket information. 10 p.m. Wednesday.
