You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.
Gig of the week:
Meandering Streams of Consciousness (feat. Manuel A. Morales/Peter Lutek/Christopher Weatherstone/Bea Labikova/Reza Assasi/Arsalan Alizadeh/Avesta Nakhaei/Kousha Nakhaei/Raphael Weinroth-Browne/Rob Clutton/Alinima Madani) / Array Space 2015-01-16 (Friday) [FB event]
It's actually a pretty stacked week over at Array Space, with the Mark Segger Sextet Monday, Audiopollination Tuesday and a night of solo percussion by David Schotzko on Saturday. But the highlight should be this "night of music and visual arts" spearheaded by Avesta and Kousha Nakhaei. Besides the visual component, with an ensemble that will include fujara, tar, oud, kamanche and tombaka, expect some cross-cultural musical streams and Persian flavours.
