\nDate<\/b>: Thursday, April 21, 9 p.m.

\nScales is one of the most unque and visionary musical artists working today. Formerly based in Asheville, he\u2019s nearly always on the road, bringing his fascinating music to audiences the world over. It\u2019s not strictly jazz, and it\u2019s not exactly prog or fusion. I don\u2019t know how to describe it other than to say it\u2019s superb. His instrumentation isn\u2019t conventional, but it\u2019s wonderfully accessible. Catch him in this former-hometown show, Learn more about Scales via th<\/a>is feature<\/a>, or this one<\/a>, or this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Artist<\/b>: Karla Bonoff<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Sunday, April 24, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $30
\nKarla Bonoff entered the singer-songwriter pantheon somewhat late in that genre\u2019s timeline. But her 1977 self-titled debut displayed her talents as a songwriter, vocalist and instrumentalist of high quality. Bonoff\u2019s impeccable taste \u2013 and her choice of musical associates \u2013 has long been a hallmark of her output. Never the most prolific of recording artists, she has released a mere seven solo albums of original material over the past 45 years. But her live performances are consistently engaging, and this rare Asheville date is sure to be a rare treat indeed.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/30do_wooten.jpg\")
Artist<\/b>: Victor Wooten<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Salvage Station<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Sunday, May 8, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $35 advance \/ $40 day of show
\nWooten is an acclaimed bassist and band leader whose musical vision encompasses a wide spectrum. A valued associate of fellow bassists Stanley Clarke and Marcus Miller as well as a longtime band mate of B\u00e9la Fleck, Wooten has enough musical ideas of his own to inform a creatively fruitful solo career. And he\u2019s an author as well: his book The Spirit of Music<\/i> is as lively, passionate and inspiring as his music. His Salvage Station set will also feature Steve Bailey and Gregg Bissonette.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/30do_bjm.jpg\")

\nAnton Newcombe earned a reputation as one of rock\u2019s enfant terribles<\/i>, on a par with his band\u2019s namesake. But while that has sometimes threatened to overshadow his music, the quality of said music \u2013 steeped in psychedelic sauce but not slavishly confining itself to that style \u2013 deserves your attention. For all his reputation as a difficult personality, I found him quite affable, open and engaged when I interviewed him a decade ago<\/a>. Some ten BJM albums have come out since that chat, and like the records that came before, they\u2019ve been greeted with almost nonstop critical praise.<\/p>\n
