About this concert
Grammy Award winning Bassist Pino Palladino (D’Angelo, Nine Inch Nails, Erykah Badu, John Mayer) and Grammy Award winning guitarist and producer Blake Mills (Alabama Shakes, Bob Dylan, Fiona Apple, Perfume Genius) reunite with That Wasn’t a Dream, their second collaborative instrumental album that builds on the deep chemistry they first explored on 2021’s Notes With Attachments, expanding it into a meditative, boundary-pushing sonic world. The record blurs lines between composition and improvisation, melody and abstraction. With contrapuntal interplay by sometimes unidentifiable instruments, it’s a project defined by ambiguity, restraint, and the radical beauty of listening closely.
Sam Gendel
A fixture of LA’s experimental scene, Sam Gendel is a composer, producer, and saxophonist known for his abstract, genre-blurring approach to jazz and ambient music. His extensive discography includes acclaimed solo work and collaborations with the likes of Louis Cole, Sam Wilkes, Antonia Cytrynowicz, and Palladino & Mills. Gendel’s live performances feel like transmissions from another plane—unexpected, emotive, and deeply textural.
Chris Dave
One of the most influential drummers of his generation, Chris Dave has redefined the language of rhythm through his work with Maxwell, Robert Glasper, D’Angelo, Adele, and countless others. As the founder of the Drumhedz, Dave leads a constellation of players whose futuristic grooves blend funk, gospel, hip-hop, and jazz. Known for his time-bending syncopation and razor-sharp instincts, Dave brings an interstellar intensity to every stage he touches.

Intriguing and rich. No frills; literally no talking from the stage, but plenty of music. Very evocative and giving performance despite the demonstrably introverted performers. Wish the venue had cheaper drinks, otherwise, can’t complain about vibe and sound quality.
