“Third Thursdays” monthly jazz series host Dave Bryant (keyboardist) has announced that Srinivasan Raghuraman (vocals), Upasak Mukherjee (tabla), Shivaraj Natraj (mridangam), and Mike Rivard (sintir, bass) will join him for a unique concert combining Indian Carnatic singing, North and South Indian percussion, the Moroccan sintir, and keyboards.
Dave notes: “I am privileged to learn from these brilliant improvising musicians from the Indian tradition and have my own creative methods enriched in the process. Mike Rivard (no stranger to compelling crosscultural encounters) will add another layer of interest with his work on the sintir. This event promises to be a catalyst for many unexpected chain reactions!”
Monthly “Third Thursdays” performances have all been video recorded, with the goal of documenting Ornette Coleman’s impact on the free jazz movement. Another key purpose of the series is to document the experiences, reminiscences, and musical contributions of members of Coleman’s bands. All videos, including interviews with Bryant’s former Coleman colleagues, are available at dbryantmusic.com/third-thursdays, dbryantmusic.com/musician-interviews, and on youtube.com/@davebryantmusic/videos.
