4-Sight: 4-Sight
by Jack Bowers
4–Sight, a quartet of (relatively) young lions who’ve made some modest waves in other groups, nimbly straddles a number of fences — mainstream and contemporary, funk and traditional, acoustic and electric — on its debut recording for N2K.

PARIS | Examining music in a museum space is no simple task; exhibitions about musicians tend to downplay the music itself. But “We Want Miles," an ambitious show about the life and music of the jazz great Miles Davis, at Cit de la Musique through Jan. 17, is a remarkable exception.
