Rudresh Mahanthappa sax, David Fiuczynski gitaar, Rich Brown bas, Dan Weiss drums
American alto saxophone player Rudresh Mahanthappa enchants everyone with his fresh, energetic synthesis of ancient Indian music and contemporary jazz.. ‘The buzzing technology dissolves head-scratching issues of this tradition or that tradition to create an irresistible momentum’, says Washington Post. In his newest band Gamak he uses electricity to fuse South-Indian and Afro-American principles. His playing encapsulates ‘Sanborn’s lustrous tone and Parker’s rhythmic agility’ (Washington Post) and for years he has been voted best alto saxophonist in the Downbeat Critics Poll as well as by the Jazz Journalists Association. ‘A true progressive in contemporary improvised music (Jazzwise).
