<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Friends,<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am excited to announce our upcoming concert in Berkeley on
<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thursday the 29^th of September at the Freight and
Salvage. <span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">ASPADA— our new quartet with "Remember Shakti" percussionist
<b>V. Selvaganesh</b>; piano virtuoso, <b>Osam Ezzeldin</b>; and bassist, <b>Kai Eckhardt</b>, will be performing with
guest vocalist <b>Mahesh Kale.</b><span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Mahesh</b> <b>Kale</b> is a north Indian classical
vocalist of extraordinary abilities. He lives here in the Bay Area, but is in
constant demand in India where he just received the National Film Award for
Best Male Playback Singer from the country’s president.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">You may have seen Mahesh perform with my group Summit a few
years back or recently with Zakir Hussain in Fairfax. If haven’t heard Mahesh
in concert you are in for a teat.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> Having south India’s
premiere percussionist and north India’s rising star vocalist here in Berkeley
at the same time is certainly cause for a musical celebration…<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">and that is just what will be going down at the beautiful
Freight and Salvage.<span></span></p>
