Chicago soundsmith J.R. Robinson must have a sense of humor, since he named his latest project Wrekmeister Harmonies even though there’s barely a harmony to be found in the dense, experimental web he weaves. Robinson will play here tonight backed by sometimes Wilco cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm and US Maple guitarist Mark Shippy, on a bill that also includes pioneering no-wave pianist Azita, a former Jim O’Rourke collaborator who now records for the Chicago label Drag City.
Wrekmeister Harmonies w/ Azita
Tonight @ The Sugar Maple, 8 p.m.
