On April 23rd, at 7:30 p.m., Krannert Art Museum will host the next in its “Sudden Sound” concert series with a performance by Gerald Cleaver’s Black Host.
Per the KAM website:
This improvising “super” quintet from New York City features Cooper-Moore
(keyboards, synthesizer), Brandon Seabrook (guitar), Darius Jones (alto saxophone), Pascal Niggenkemper (bass), and Gerald Cleaver (drums). Their 2013 debut release Life in the Sugar Candle Mines (Northern Spy) was acclaimed by reviewers and noted by Ben Ratliff in The New York Times as “a possible dream band for anyone interested in the new intersections between jazz and rock, as long as you expel preconceptions of that idea.”
The Sudden Sound Concert Series presents leading artists in the fields of improvised music and the jazz avant-garde, establishing Krannert Art Museum as a destination for enthusiasts of today’s most progressive music from the U.S. and abroad. Curated by Jason Finkelman.
