The Goods: Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Beats Antique, MC Yogi

By Aaron Davis (for JHWeekly.com)Get your brass Dirty Not just a band, Dirty Dozen Brass Band is an institution, a tradition. The project was born straight from the second-line, funk and bebop rhythms you’d find on the streets of New Orleans, and is now celebrating it’s 35th year. If you want true evidence of power in numbers, you’ll feel every nuance of this notion when the septet stages trumpet, saxes, flugelhorn, sousaphone, guitar and drums. This is uplifting dance music that celebrates the roots of N’awlins culture. 307 Live presents Dirty Dozen Brass Band at 10 p.m., Thursday, at Town Square Tavern. $20 advance or $25 day-of-show, available at 307Live.com or at the Tavern’s Liquor Store. 733-3886. Beats Antique spreads international flairProducers David Satori and Tommy “Sidecar” Cappel along with world-renowned belly dance performer/producer Zoe Jakes make up the world/electronic group Beats Antique. Since 2007, the Oakland-born collaboration has released an album a year, the latest being Elektraphone (2011). Just last month, they announced a new collaboration with Hottub, and released a single, “Came to Get Down.” Beats Antique incorporates live instrument samples and a union of old and new inspirations, bridging the gap between Middle Eastern dance music, down tempo, hip-hop, old school jazz, clown, dubstep, and Afro-beat. Beats Antique, 10 p.m., Wednesday at the Pink Garter Theatre. $18 advance or $22 day-of-show, available at PinkGarterTheatre.com. 733-1500.Yogi’s yogaNicholas Giacomini, a.k.a., MC Yogi, harvests the true passions of this life – hip-hop, yoga and Hindu philosophy – in an Eastern-influenced output that draws on truth seeking and pop culture. His latest, Pilgrimage, is a follow-up to the iTunes world music chart topper, Elephant Power. “Pilgrimage is the soundtrack to my journey to India, circling the sacred mountain Arunachala in the heart of Tamil Nadu, and discovering the intricate root system of yoga,” Yogi said. This week’s Concert on the Commons will feature a free outdoor yoga session with local instructors from Yoga Today prior to the concert. Yoga on the Commons with MC Yogi, 5 p.m., Sunday, at Concert in the Commons in Teton Village. Free, all-ages. JHMR.com.
