Rudresh Mahanthappa / Kadri Gopalnath: Kinsmen
by Budd Kopman
Kinsmen is the physical actualization of a long path that started with alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa's desire to create a music that is a hybrid (not a fusion) of American jazz and classical Indian Carnatic music. Improvisation is central to both aesthetics with differing emphases, embodied primarily in the playing of Mahanthappa and alto saxophonist Kadri ...

Ribot's renowned sideman work with Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, ...
