Mingus Dynasty, the rotating ensemble dedicated to keeping Charles Mingus's compositions alive and argumentative, plays Outpost as part of the 20th Annual New Mexico Jazz Festival. Outpost is one of the few rooms in the state where the acoustics and the audience both take the music seriously, so this is a real listening room experience,...
Brian Blade is widely regarded as one of the finest jazz drummers alive, and the Fellowship Band is his most personal project, a working group that plays his own compositions with the kind of collective listening you rarely hear outside a recording studio. Outpost is a seated, purpose-built listening room, which means the room itself...
Australian brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone are touring behind their new album with the kind of large-scale production, lights and choreography included, that fills a room the size of Kiva without it feeling empty. This act has built a following that travels, so expect the auditorium to be full and the crowd to be genuinely...

Kiva seats around 2,400, so this is a proper theater experience with real sightlines from nearly every section, not the crammed club setting where her material usually lives. Tickets are through Ticketmaster, so buy...
Saturday night tablao flamenco at Hotel Albuquerque, with guitar, song, and dance performed in one of the few dedicated flamenco formats in the state. Balloon Fiesta weekend means the room...
