Endangered Blood and Starlicker in New York

From NYTimes.com:

The new jazz has since moved on. It’s less jagged and self-consciously transgressive, more studied and self-possessed. It’s gone deeper into harmony and odd or changing meters; it’s more exact in every way. But jazz musicians tend to stay around, refining their craft, and repping the sound of their formative years, and two new bands, Endangered Blood and Starlicker, radiate the late ’90s. Their gigs on Wednesday and Thursday nights, at Littlefield and Issue Project Room, brought on specific memories from the early years of Tonic, on the Lower East Side (1998-2007, R.I.P.). And in both cases the memories came slightly updated.
