Hello all-
I am just back from a wonderful month performing and recording in India.
I had the pleasure of working with some of my favorite musicians in a
variety of settings.
A brief synopsis...
Concerts:
... in Chennai with the great Carnatic violin duo Kumaresh and Ganesh.
... in Kolkata with Trilok Gurtu, Rajan and Sajan Mishra, Louiz Banks
Tejendra Majumdar and Rakesh Chaurasia.
...in Delhi and Kolkata with Louiz Banks and Gary Lawyer
...in Mumbai with Sivamani
... and a very special morning concert with John McLaughlin, Zakir
Hussain and Louiz Banks in honor of Ustad Allah Rakha.
In addition I was in Pune recording with sitarist Shakir Parvez and
Austrian drummer Bernhard Schimplesberger,
and in Goa recording with a fascinating group of musicians from
Siberia, Moscow, Italy, Israel and Puerto Rico.
I will keep you informed as to when these CD projects become available.
