Nels Cline and Gregg Bendian: Interstellar Space Revisited
Part of the summer concert series sound. "under the stars" at the historic Schindler House, two famed musicians perform the seminal John Coltrane and Rashied Ali duo suite in its entirety with guitar and drums. Cline's and Bendian's 1999 recording of the suite was nominated for an International Jazz Critics Award. Jazz Times describes their remarkable performance this way: "Waves of blistering white-hot energy roll off the stage, bathing the downtown New York denizens in sheer sonic catharsis. Drummer Bendian whirls around his kit with incredible speed and dexterity. It's a formidable, throbbing foundation for guitarist Nels Cline, who seems to be pushed beyond levels of human abandon by the sustained and focused intensity of Bendian's pumped up percussive assault." Sponsored by the MAK Center for Art & Architecture and produced by the Society for the Activation of Social Space through Art and Sound (SASSAS). Ticket price includes admission to current MAK Center exhibition.

Two Performances: Friday, September 20 and Saturday, September 21.
