MUSIC Photo by Dave Mitchell / Plastic Jesus Roots and all is going back to its roots. Members and friends of local musical in- stitution will take part in a series of four shows at the Bell House in Gowanus this September called “Old New York Live.” The shows will harken back to an earlier period in the city’s musical history, when performers of all styles and backgrounds rubbed shoulders, (718) 260–2500 The Brooklyn Paper’s essential guide to the Borough of Kings Aug. 29–Sept. 4, 2014 according to the organizer. “This is going to be a throwback to the old style of New York, where all kinds of different artists would be in the same room and just vibe out,” said rapper Karl Dice Jenkins. “We’re go- ing to have a real eclectic mix of stuff.” Jenkins, who also goes by his emcee name Dice Raw, is a longtime associate of the Roots ,and he still operates out of the band’s native Philadelphia. The series kicks off Sept. 2 with perfor- mances by Roots spin-off band the Dust Rays, Chekhov’s shun! singer-songwriter Milton, and Young Pandas — a synth-heavy rhythm and blues outfit from New England.
