Gregg Bendian has made a name for himself as an innovative drummer/percussionist collaborating with some of contemporary music's strongest personalities. He has worked with Derek Bailey, Pat Metheny, Cecil Taylor, William Parker, Roscoe Mitchell, John Zorn, Peter Brotzmann, Zoot Horn Rollo and Evan Parker.

He leads the bands Gregg Bendian's Interzone and Trio Pianissimo and is frequently heard with repertory ensembles The Mahavishnu Project and The Musical Box.

Gregg's critically acclaimed "Interstellar Space Revisited: The Music of John Coltrane" (Atavistic, 1998) with guitarist Nels Cline of Wilco was enthusiastically supported by both Alice Coltrane and Rashied Ali, who described the recording as "incredible" and "very daring".
