Karen Ng - [solo sax improvisation]

Bringing back a favourite summer excursion after a couple years away, Jonathan Adjemian hosted this lovely afternoon of music, tasty eats and good vibes on the back patio of Parkdale's Tibet Kitchen, still offering the same tangle of backlane wires overhead and the same serene peacefulness away from the hurly-burly of Queen Street. There's nothing more valuable to a restaurant than a repeat customer, so it was satisfying to see Karen Ng performing solo in this space once again. (In the journey from then to now, her solo activity has flourished.) Gleaming in the unaccustomed afternoon sun (the saxophone is quite often a nocturnal creature), Ng's brief set moved from spacious whisps humming along with a neighbouring backyard radio to denser sound-squawks.
