On Saturday, May 4, 2024, Bang on a Can’s Long Play Festival continued with a performance of Jeff Mills: Tomorrow Comes the Harvest at Howard Gilman Opera House at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The entire performance was improvised between Mills, a renowned Detroit techno pioneer, who was accompanied by Rasheeda Ali (on flute) and Kathleen Supové (on piano) and Sundiata on percussion.

I captured the event as a house photographer for Brooklyn Academy of Music and additional images can be found on Bang on a Can’s Facebook page here. The first image of this post can also be seen in a profile of Jeff Mills by Mike Rubin on The New York Times website here. The third image above ran in the Arts section of the May 16, 2024 of the print version and a scan of the page is available here.
