The prize for the most madly eclectic program of the season goes to the NYC ensemble Fireworks, whose "Dance Mix" show at Club Makor tonight includes Johann Strauss's "Thunder and Lightning Polka," Aphex Twin's "Analogue Bubblebath," Lully's Bourgeois Gentilhomme Suite, Duke Ellington's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," New Order's "Blue Monday," the Minuet from Haydn's Quartet No. 62, and The Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive." Here's Fireworks' site. I liked their semi-electric Rite of Spring CD, though it doesn't rock as hard as the original.
