TICKETS + INFORMATION

In conjunction with its Just Above Midtown: Changing Spaces exhibition, MoMA puts on performances by people who played at that pioneering 1970/80s Black Art gallery. Tonight’s show honors a major player there: the late Butch Morris, whose Conduction was a method for conducting avant-jazz improvisations. This requires master musicians — but that won’t be a problem these nights.
