...MORNING JACKET Z For two albums, the most noteworthy thing about My Morning Jacket was its air of cultivated scruffiness; its members looked like Lynyrd Skynyrd Muppet Babies--and played like them. Here they finally shake off their youthful jam-band fascination and write some songs. From the ecstatic atmospherics of Wordless Chorus to the crackling What a Wonderful Man, singer Jim James is expansive without being lazy.

Octogenarian Little Joe Cook is a national blues legend, and has been playing at the Cantab with backing band the Thrillers every weekend for 25 of his 83 years. Tuesday night showcases blistering bluegrass, and Wednesday and Sunday are open-mic blues jam nights. The Hotspot hit the club this past Sunday around 11, where, shockingly, the place was packed. Honestly, The Hotspot didn’t even know it was legal to have fun on a Sunday night in Cambridge. No one told the crowd, though, because they were as into...
...Marotta has also made what he refers to as “canned specimens”—leaves, pinecones, and other ephemera from the site sealed in the sort of jars one might expect to hold jam. He plans to do a series of large-scale drawings of the containers in which they take on what he calls “alien” proportions...
