A rare opportunity to hear this supergroup in Baltimore at An die Musik Live!Nels Cline, guitar
Chris Corsano, drummer
Darin Gray, bass
Glenn Kotche, percussion
Saccata Quartet is a supergroup featuring guitar explorer Nels Cline (Wilco, CUP with Yuka C. Honda, his own Consentrik Quartet); percussionist Glenn Kotche (Wilco and myriad recordings by everyone from John Luther Adams to Taylor Swift); drummer Chris Corsano (a collaborator with countless free improvisers including Joe McPhee and Bill Orcutt); and bassist Darin Gray (touring bassist for Tweedy, and Jim O’Rourke’s longtime bassist of choice).
On June 28, 2024, the band shared their first album together, Septendecim, on We Jazz Records, with their live debut following on June 30th at Wilco's Solid Sound Festival in North Adams, Massachusetts. The group reconvened for Chicago’s Sound & Gravity Festival in September 2025 and will be playing several highly anticipated shows on the East Coast in December.
While Saccata Quartet's music could probably well be called free jazz, drone, dark ambient, post-noise or kosmische-noir, it should not be labeled too rigorously under any one of those banners. As a work of four lauded instrumentalists, their sound -- be it loud and undeniably wall-like or hazy and quiet, almost fog-like -- comes from a place of democratic free expression of four musicians coming together on their own terms.
Monolith Cocktail called them, “a harrowing and galloping, scattering merger of Faust, Roscoe Mitchell, Sam Rivers, Zappa and AEOC in a dense experimental world of scares and uncertainty. What’s not to love about that."
