Kronos Quartet plays Sun Ra (sort of)

[medjuck]

Just came back from a Kronos Quartet concert at which they played "Kiss Yo' Ass Goodbye" credited to Sun Ra, Terry Riley and Sara Miyamoto.  According to the program notes it "utilizes Sun Ra's Track 'Nuclear War' as source material."  It begins to really kick ass when they sample the drumming and chanting from the original.

I'm supposed to see them in a couple of weeks in Toronto, and I believe they will be performing this piece.

Koerner Hall?  That will be great. I saw Laurie Anderson there a few weeks ago.
