Big Sam’s Funky Nation at Chelsea’s

If he says “aye,” you say “oh.” Aye oh. Aye oh. OK, writing a call-and-response doesn’t do it justice quite like being in the center of a live performance by Big Sam’s Funky Nation. Catch the horn-heavy improv jazz group at Chelsea’s this Friday night for a unique New Orleans street-dance musical experience. 10 p.m. Also catch Righteous Buddha at Chelsea’s Café this Saturday, Jan. 31.
