Disappear Incompletely - The Radiohead Project last performed at the Bach on February 9, 2014.
Featuring a line-up of top jazz, rock, electronic, experimental musicians from the San Francisco Bay Area, Disappear Incompletely performs new arrangements from the Radiohead songbook. While jazz musicians have long drawn on popular music as a source of repertoire and a vehicle for improvisation, Disappear Incompletely takes a new approach, reflective of their musical generation, in re-interpreting these great songs through a kaleidoscope of styles from jazz to rock, soul, electronic, free and beyond.
