The Low Anthem rises and Balmorhea swells, last night at RecordBar
Last night, the Low Anthem’s Ben Knox Miller made an announcement: It was the late Charlie Parker’s birthday (he would have been 91), and so the show would be played in Bird’s honor. We all gave this sober nod, recognizing his nice first-time-in-Kansas City gesture. But as the Low Anthem performed, the nice gesture became an act of real reverence — the kind only good priests and ministers usually perform.
