A DIALOGUE IN MUSIC THAT NEEDS NO WORDS TO COMMUNICATE WITH ITS AUDIENCE, AS IT FINDS ITS DIRECT THREAD BY LEANING ON IMPROVISED NOTES MADE COMPREHENSIBLE BY ELEVATED JAZZ JARGON. AN UNPRECEDENTED TRIO FROM DAVE HOLLAND, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BASSISTS IN JAZZ HISTORY, ACCOMPANIED BY ICONIC SAXOPHONIST CHRIS POTTER AND RENOWNED INDIAN TABLAS MASTER ZAKIR HUSSAIN.
As stated by Mike Hobart of the Financial Times, the trio features Hussain in the company of saxophone virtuoso Chris Potter and bass genius Dave Holland. A trio that normally belongs to a larger ensemble, the Crosscurrents, who have distinguished themselves musically for investigating the boundaries of Indian music and jazz. A mix of ragas swing that made them the focal point of the 2017 EGF London Jazz Festival seeing Indian musicians on piano and guitar on stage, a project with an almost exploratory air. But in this reduced line-up, the comfort given by the ensemble of musicians is replaced by the sonic warmth of Hussain’s Indian drumming, while the depth and rapport with the band convey the idea that the musicians know exactly that they are treading familiar ground.”
