Skin & Bones: Mats Gustafsson in the Pyramid!

Skin & Bones: Mats Gustafsson in the Pyramid!
World celebrated iconic saxophonist Mats Gustafsson will be giving a very special solo performance in the Pyramid at the Summerhill Winery. With over three decades on a musical trajectory that encompasses free/avant-garde jazz, noise, contemporary composition, and alternative/indie rock, very few instrumentalists come close to the mind pummelling inventiveness and fiery intensity of Gustafsson. “Mats is the most modern of the players where the genre tags of jazz, noise, experimental, avant-whatever are finally transcended to a new millenium – where compositional concepts are at once in check with open improvisation and a super-postmodernism becomes what we always wanted: rock n’ roll!” – Thurston MooreWith over 100 recordings and thousands of performances all over the world, Mats has led various critically acclaimed ensembles over the years, notably The Thing, FIRE! Orchestra, and Gush. Regular collaborators include Sonic Youth, Merzbow, Jim O’Rourke, Peter Brötzmann, Ken Vandermark, and many others.www.matsgus.comThis concert is the thirty-fifth of the Skin and Bones Music Series.
