Gregg Bendian at the Baked Potato

Share

Percussionist-composer Gregg Bendian cut his teeth with John Zorn, Bill Frisell and William Parker on the outer limits of the New York jazz scene, and here he celebrates his 50th birthday with a show that attempts to encapsulate a career that included an album-length noisy feast inspired by illustrator Jack Kirby, an acclaimed reinterpretation of late-period John Coltrane called “Interstellar Space Revisited” and much more. This all-star show’s roster includes a wealth of Los Angeles-area artists who have performed with Bendian, including drummer Alex Cline, trumpeter John Fumo, keyboardist David Witham and violist-arranger Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. The Baked Potato, 3787 West Cahuenga Blvd., Studio City. Thu., $15. https://www.thebakedpotato.com.
