Drawing upon the urgency and harmonic density of jazz, the rhythmic complexity and melodic richness of classical Indian music (encompassing both Northern and Southern traditions), and a range of pan-African grooves, the uniquely-constructed trio is simultaneously groundbreaking and refreshingly listenable, capturing three masters engaging in a conversation with each other and the great range of their inspirations.</font></b></font></div><div style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 20px; "><font face="Arial" size="4" style="font: normal normal normal 15px/normal Arial; "><b><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#E93D0A"><br></font></b></font></div><div style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 20px; "><font face="Arial" size="4" style="font: normal normal normal 15px/normal Arial; "><b><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#2700D6">Check out this funny and insightful review of the Raga Bop Trio's concerts in Schenectady, NY. </font></b></font></div><div style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 20px; "><font face="Arial" size="4" style="font: normal normal normal 15px/normal Arial; "><b><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#2700D6"><a href="http://www.nippertown.com/2010/11/19/live-raga-bop-trio-the-van-dyck-111210">http://www.nippertown.com/2010/11/19/live-raga-bop-trio-the-van-dyck-111210</a></font></b></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Arial" size="5" style="font: 20.0px Arial"><b><br></b></font><font face="Arial" size="4" style="font: 15.0px Arial"><b><br> SPECIAL DRUM CHANNEL APPEARANCE!<br> Monday, November 29<br> Terry Bozzio hosts an interview and performance with the Raga Bop Trio<br> Drum Channel<br> Time: </b><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHn4vzY4qZc&feature=player_embedded"><font color="#0040cd" style="color: #0040cd"><b>6:00</b></font></a><b> p.m. PST<br> Cost: FREE<br> </b><a href="http://www.drumchannel.com/"><font color="#0024ce" style="color: #0024ce"><b>www.drumchannel.com</b></font></a><b> <br> <br> Wednesday, December 1<br> Catalina Bar and Grill<br> 6725 Sunset Blvd.<br> Hollywood, CA 90028<br> </b><a href="http://www.catalinajazzclub.com/"><font color="#0024ce" style="color: #0024ce"><b>www.catalinajazzclub.com</b></font></a><b> <br> <br> Thursday, December 2<br> Catalina Bar and Grill<br> 6725 Sunset Blvd.<br> Hollywood, CA 90028<br> </b><a href="http://www.catalinajazzclub.com/"><font color="#0024ce" style="color: #0024ce"><b>www.catalinajazzclub.com</b></font></a><b> <br> <br> Friday, December 3 <br> The Loft Price Center East 2nd floor<br> UC San Diego<br> 9500 Gilman Dr.<br> La Jolla, CA 92093<br> 858-534-8497<br> </b><a href="http://boxoffice.ucsd.edu/"><font color="#0040cd" style="color: #0040cd"><b>http://boxoffice.ucsd.edu</b></font></a><b> <br> <br> Saturday, December 4 <br> JB's Lounge<br> Inside the Red Lion Inn<br> 1401 Arden Way<br> Sacramento, CA 95814<br> 916-922-8041<br> </b></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Arial" size="4" style="font: 15.0px Arial"><b> </b></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Arial" size="4" style="font: 15.0px Arial"><b>Sunday, December 5 <br> Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society<br> Douglas Beach House<br> Miramar Beach<br> Half Moon Bay, CA<br> 650-726-4143<br> </b><a href="http://www.bachddsoc.org/"><font color="#0024ce" style="color: #0024ce"><b>www.bachddsoc.org</b></font></a><b> <br> <br> Monday, December 6 <br> California State University Fresno<br> Dept. of Music Concert Hall<br> 2380 E.
