Guitar Trio Pt. 2, Brooklyn - Rhys Chatham & His Guitar Trio All-Stars

Rhys Chatham (b. September 19, 1952, New York City) is an American avant-garde composer, guitarist, and trumpet player. He currently lives in France. In the early 1970s Chatham was the first music director of The Kitchen in New York. His early compositions owed a significant debt to La Monte Young and other minimalists. After viewing Punk bands playing in CGCB in new york, he composed “Guitar Trio,” a seven-plus minute exploration of punk fury fused with minimal composition that could not be more relevant 30 years later.
