    Concerts celebrating the Kitchen’s 40th anniversary will feature Z’EV, Bush Tetras, George Lewis, Peter Gordon & Love of Life Orchestra

    In June 1981, The Kitchen threw itself a behemoth tenth birthday party cum fundraiser at a Times Square megaclub. Dubbed Aluminum Nights, the marathon event saw a capacity audience of many hundreds — including, all seem to recall, Mick Jagger backstage — enjoy a diversified array of the downtown sounds being nurtured at the crossroads of The Kitchen’s music program. In 2011, as part of its 40th anniversary season, The Kitchen presents a distilled refraction of the Aluminum Music performed over that memorable weekend.

    On Friday April 15, Industrial pioneer Z’EV will demonstrate his hypnotic, ritualized solo percussion music on a shared bill with cherished No-Wavers, Bush Tetras. The next evening will feature former Kitchen Music Director and Aluminum Nights co-curator George Lewis’s electro-acoustic anthem Homage to Charles Parker from 1979. Lewis will play live with Amina Claudine Myers (piano/organ), Reggie Nicholson (percussion), Matana Roberts (alto saxophone) and Richard Teitelbaum (synthesizers). The epic disco-minimalism of composer/saxophonist Peter Gordon’s Love of Life Orchestra, featuring contributions from Robby Ameen (drums), Max Gordon (trumpet), Randy Gun (guitar), Paul Shapiro (winds), Ned Sublette (guitar), Elio Villafranca (piano) and Peter Zummo (trombone) completes the Aluminum Music weekend.
