Henry Alford writes, what do you call it when fourteen musicians in a mobile rock band, whose fans include Philip Glass, pop up near Lincoln Center and start playing strange music?
If it’s ninety-four degrees outside—as it was the other afternoon, when Tilted Axes began playing in Richard Tucker Park, a tiny spot of green just across Broadway from Lincoln Center—the intention had better be dogged. Grant calls the band’s performances “tilts,” but this one, involving fourteen musicians, was more of a melt.
At the performance near Lincoln Center, the Axes played a new, Ramones-inflected version of the Glass piece, seven original tunes, and a cover of “Are You Experienced?” Then, sweating profusely, they trekked north to play “Strawberry Fields Forever” at the Central Park monument of that name, where a group of French tourists politely regarded them with the kind of grimace-smiles that are the hallmark of art appreciation.
