Stone

Union Square, Flatiron District & Gramercy


Created by renowned downtown jazz-cat John Zorn, the Stone is about the music and nothing but the music, in all its experimental and avant-garde forms. Concerts are held at the New School Glass Box Theater, as well as once-monthly appearances at National Sawdust in Brooklyn and Russ & Daughters Cafe on the Lower East Side.
