Red Bull Music Academy Radio is celebrating a full-on decade of broadcasting with a fairly overwhelming spate of events around the city this week. But this imaginative format caught our eye most of all, not to mention a lineup that reads like a who's-who in East Bay music: Berkeley jazz saxophone great Joshua Redman, hip-hop veterans Lyrics Born and Gift of Gab, Tommy Capell of the livetronica group Beats Antique, violinist Jenny Scheinman, and more than a dozen others will take turns riffing off each other for five-minute improvisations, all in duos. Talk about your genre-blending. If you have musical ADD (and who doesn't?) this is the place to be.
