Transcendence: “Music Of Pat Metheny”
Live Appearance Sunday, May 18, 2025, 1:30-2:30 PM Mount Kisco Public Library
Transcendence, the virtuosic trio of pianist-keyboardist Bob Gluck, electric bassist Christopher Dean Sullivan and drummer Karl Latham, will present an afternoon of groundbreaking jazz with “Music of Pat Metheny” on Sunday, May 18, 2025, from 1:30 to 2:30 pm at the Mount Kisco Public Library. Sponsored by the Mount Kisco Arts Council, this live appearance offers music lovers an opportunity to experience fresh, adventurous interpretations of some of Pat Metheny’s most beloved compositions, alongside works by Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett.
Drawing its repertoire from their debut recording—released July 1, 2025 on FMR (CD 718-0125; UPC 642415162852)—Transcendence reimagines five Metheny originals, including “Question & Answer,” “Afternoon,” “The Bat,” “Offramp” and “Roof Dogs,” without utilizing a guitar. Gluck’s command of both acoustic piano and the Roli Seaboard brings a kaleidoscopic range of tonal color, reminiscent of Metheny’s own synth explorations. Complementing his nuanced touch, Sullivan’s resonant electric bass lines and lyrical soloing, together with Latham’s dynamic, polyrhythmic drumming, imbue each piece with a distinct Transcendence sound.
