I don't know this for sure, but it seems to me that Brooklyn's Sasha Dobson plays
more gigs in New York City than any other musician.  Sasha comes out of a
jazz background but her 2006 album, Modern Romance, was a unique combination of Brazilian
rhythms, rock, folk and jazz.  She reworked both the Yeah Yeah Yeah's
Modern Romance and Duke Ellington's Mood Indigo, the latter with a banjo as the lead instrument.

Lately, Sasha has been working with Brooklyn guitar ace Steve Elliot
and her more recent material has a more rock bent to it.  But all
through he work, you'll find Sasha's amazing vocals.

Sasha plays tonight at 9pm at The Living Room, 154 Ludlow Street (F
Train to Second Avenue; use the First Avenue exit).  If you'd prefer
not to leave Brooklyn, you can catch her this Sunday, at 8:30pm at
Pete's Candy Store, 709 Lorimer Street, Williamsburg (G to Metropolitan
Avenue or L to Lorimer Street; exit from the Lorimer Street platform).

If you're attending The Brooklyn Blogfest tomorrow, please stop by and say hello.  I have a surprise for the first ten of you who do.
