Billy Martin has been curating Turntable Sessions every summer at various NYC “Downtown” clubs since its inception at Exit Art’s LP Show in 2001. Each show features a DJ with various musical improvisers that are paired together. Many of the performers are meeting for the first time on stage. Luminaries from NYC’s Downtown scene and friends of Medeski Martin & Woods’ Billy Martin contribute for a strange trip through turntables, laptops, amplifiers and microphones in front of a live audience.
