John Carroll Kirby is the jazz-trained keyboardist whose fingerprints are on Solange, Frank Ocean and Steve Lacy's Bad Habit, and whose own records drift through cosmic jazz, exotica and film-score calm. Eight solo albums in, his live band is a treat in National Sawdust's acoustically tuned room. If you like your jazz lush, groovy and a little psychedelic, this is the Saturday show in Williamsburg.
