Membership is all about coming back again and again. It’s about belonging to or becoming part of something, over time.

Last fall, Arto Lindsay invited Melvin Gibbs to talk about the book he’s writing and to perform a live duo set. It was a memorable evening for all who were there. Now, Arto returns to 222 for a special membership drive event—and he had an idea that would make the concert quite special: a midnight show.

It’s the kind of thing that doesn’t happen so often anymore, and it contains a spirit and an openness that resonates with what being a member of GPS is all about.
