The doc about the great drummer Sam Lay has added a second show, so if you didn’t get tickets to the early showing of Sam Lay In Bluesland, you still have a shot. 

The Hip-Hop Fellow plays at Society For The Arts at 9pm. It’s the story of Patrick Douhit, known as producer 9th Wonder, teaching The Standards Of Hip-Hop at Harvard.
