Morning Tip: Entertainment in Ditmas Park Thursday

Looking for something fun to do Thursday night in Ditmas Park? Here are a few things that are going on:

• NYCTrust at Sycamore: Resident DJs ASAF, 1MAN & E’S E select an assortment of high-grade vintage tunes including funk, early R&B, modern soul, library beats, ska, boogoloo and more.

Also performing at Sycamore are The Westerlies, Jonah Parzen-Johnson and the Ches Smith Trio. The Westerlies are a New York based brass quartet comprised of four friends from Seattle, Washington. They create music that falls between contemporary classical composition, jazz influenced improvisation, and North American folk music. 

Jonah Parzen-Johnson is a baritone saxophonist living in Brooklyn, NY. Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, Jonah was surrounded and inspired by the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians and South Side music community. 

Ches Smith is an American musician whose primary instruments are drums, percussion, and vibraphone. He writes and performs music in a wide variety of contexts, including solo percussion, experimental rock bands, and small and large jazz ensembles.
