The star power is evenly distributed in this trio. Previously, these three crowd-pullers explored the boundaries of Indian music and jazz, with unprecedented virtuosity. Now, as a trio, they go to the core, beyond raga and swing, with deep and detailed interaction and a refined musical language of their own.
Zakir Hussain, a giant in the world of Indian percussion, lays the foundation with his propulsive tabla playing. Dave Holland, the British bassist who played with Miles Davis, provides direction with his clear lines. Chris Potter demonstrates with his exceptional technique and inexhaustible inventiveness that he is one of the great tenor saxophonists in American jazz of the past decades.
Eric Harland replaces Zakir Hussain
Unfortunately, Zakir Hussain is unable to tour with the Crosscurrents Trio due to medical reasons. Dave Holland and Chris Potter have decided to continue with the tour and will be joined at the Muziekgebouw by drummer/percussionist Eric Harland. The award-winning drummer, Harland has previously collaborated with artists such as Dave Holland and Terence Blanchard. We wish Zakir Hussain a swift recovery and thank you for your understanding!
