7 pm,
Justin Nozuka, Sam Bradley, and Elizabeth And The Catapult at Webster Hall
Elizabeth And The Catapult play a homey kind of jazzy pop that sounds equally comfortable in the realm of indie-pop and in the sphere of Verve, the storied old jazz label that pulled the group onto its roster for an album this year. That album, Taller Children, flits through sounds that slot in as "lounge" and traffic within the bewitching vocals of Elizabeth Ziman, a singer who sounds like she knows what she's doing for sure. With Taller Children, the Brooklyn trio has honed a sound that captures the whimsy of childhood with the insight of adulthood, but avoids the pitfalls of twee-addled indie with just enough energy and soul to keep audiences enrapt.
