Things were cool when Jason Lindner performed at 92Y Tribeca last week with Now Vs. Now. He was going to continue being his usual awesome self and make spectacular, electronic jazz that goes in all sorts of different directions. We were going to get a new album somewhere down the line and all would be well, but then Lindner under the helm of 2011 MacArthur grant recipient drummer Dafnis Prieto working alongside emcee Kokayi just unveiled the EPK for the Dafnis Prieto Proverb Trio album. That's when things got kicked up to a whole 'nother level.

Last night at New York's 92Y Tribeca, things got sort of trippy and spacey and altogether awesome with Jason Lindner's Now Vs. Now playing another edition of Josh Jackson's The Checkout: Live. Their set included new material and hits from their 2009 self-titled release. The set is certainly worth a listen and should tie you over until Lindner, Guiliana, and Andreaou drop some magic on us in album form once more.

Jason Lindner is back in the lab working on some new stuff with a new band called Breeding Ground. The group was created for a commissioned work at the Jazz Gallery's 2009 Composers' Series. It features Jason's Now vs. Now trio at the core (you should really get the Now vs. Now album if you don't have it!) plus a vocalist, a string quartet, and a horn section. Here's their first "single" (man I feel like we're on MTV or something...) "Sparkle Wolf".
