ONLINE FIND

■ Trumpeter extraordinaire Dan Rosenboom and drummer extraordinaire Matt Mayall have teamed up on the album “Language” (out today on Bandcamp), which ought to send jazz-heads and fans of improvisational music into a tizzy. That release comes on the heels of Rosenboom’s opus ”

Absurd in the Anthropocene” back in January. But today, in the Dept. of Friday Funnies, we bring you a video, which went viral last week, of Rosenboom going truly improvisational with a bird. He writes:

“Last week I saw this beautiful and inspiring video of a cockatoo performing an amazing piece for toy piano, and I just had to join in the fun. We transcribed it and made a video with Logan Kane and Anthony Fung — hope you enjoy it as much as we did.”

■ Also: “Alphabetland,” the new album from X, is now available on all streaming platforms. Spend 27 minutes with it.

■ The 1933 Group, owner of 11 establishments including Highland Park Bowl, both Bigfoot Lodges, the Sassafras Saloon and the Thirsty Crow, is taking a novel approach to fundraising: They’re selling “bonds.” Essentially gift certificates, the bonds are worth $100 in future purchases, and they’re being sold at a discount for $80. More information here.

■ DoLA— the popular website and email newsletter that’s a virtual city guide to all things music, arts and culture — is soliciting donations for its staff. Like many outlets who depend on marketing dollars (including this site), DoLA’s revenue has plummeted to zero because of the lockdown. Their plea is simple: help us stay in business.
