George Brooks celebrates the release of “Spirit and Spice”, his  
fourth CD as a leader and the second for his Earth Brother Music  
label, featuring Fareed Haque, guitar; Kai Eckhardt, bass and Steve  
on drums. Guests on the album include Zakir Hussain and Swapan  
Chaudhuri on tabla, Kala Ranath on violin, Ronu Majumdar on bamboo  
flute and Niladri Kumar on sitar.

George Brooks Summit features some of the finest musicians working in  
jazz and global fusion. On bass is Kai Eckhardt who was the  
foundation of the John McLaughlin trio that introduced the world to  
Trilok Gurtu. He has since recorded and performed with Billy Cobham,  
Larry Coryell, Wayne Shorter, Al Dimeola, Maria Joao and many others.  
On guitar is Fareed Haque, who has performed with everyone from Sting  
to Paquito de Rivera and Joe Zawinul to Nigel Kennedy.
Trap drummer Steve Smith may be best known as the drummer from rock  
super group Journey, but he is also the leader of fusion juggernaut  
Vital Information and a consistent winner of awards and jazz polls  
world wide, including Modern Drummers “ top 25 drummers of all time”.  
Rounding out the July 3rd performance are young Afghani tabla wizard  
Salar Nader, who has been touring and recording with the Kronos  
Quartet and DJ Cheb-I-Saba and Bay Area piano stalwart Frank Martin  
who has performed with Sting, Stevie Wonder, Narada Michael Walden  
and may others. Guest artists will be announced as the date nears.
