Pino Palladino

You probably love Blake Mills and Pino Palladino even if you dont know it. As a guitarist and producer, Mills has worked with an incredible range of artists, including Fiona Apple, Bob Dylan, Feist, Weyes Blood, Sky Ferreira, Perfume Genius, John Legend, and Alabama Shakes, whose Sound & Color earned him a Producer of the Year Grammy nomination. Pino Palladino, meanwhile, has played bass for DAngelo, Nine Inch Nails, John Mayer, Adele, Erykah Badu, Harry Styles, and Beyonc. On their 2021 album Notes with Attachments, these two musicians who have spent their careers helping other artists realize their vision spun up something magical of their own. Its a gauzy and welcoming collection of instrumentals rooted in jazz, soul, and R&B, full of curious experiments and warm with good cheer. Mojo called it limber, spacey music, pitched somewhere between jazz, funk, and ambience, while Pitchfork said, Its the sound of consummate collaborators imagining a world where theres no such thing as a lead performer. Now, the duo come together to reimagine Notes with Attachments songs. Its a night of off-the-cuff musical tricks and open-minded improv led by two exceptionally distinctive players.
