Today’s Top Tips for Live Music (April 27, 2022)

Best bet: Amir ElSaffar’s Rivers of Sound Orchestra @ Troy Music Hall, Troy.

It’s fairly rare to experience something that is entirely unique, entirely its own thing. Amir Elsaffar’s River of Sound Orchestra is just that: a 17-piece (!) group that blends jazz with traditional Arabic instrumentation. Highly lauded for a reason, this show promises to be memorable. (7:30)
