Description
'Kinsmen' is a groundbreaking project by alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa that melds jazz with South Indian music into a single organic whole.
Mahanthappa, named a Top 10 alto saxophonist in the 2008 DownBeat Critic's Poll, is one of the most innovative musicians in jazz today. 'Kinsmen' is his collaboration with Kadri Gopalnath, a living legend of Indian music known as "The Emperor of the Saxophone", a true innovator in bringing the saxophone to Indian classical music.
The music on 'Kinsmen', featuring their co-led Dakshina Ensemble, is exemplar of successful multicultural, transnational collaboration. Utilizing his extensive knowledge of both jazz and the traditional melodic and rhythmic concepts of Indian music, Mahanthappa has masterfully provided a framework that has brought out the best in all the musicians, resulting in spectacular interaction and virtuosic displays from Gopalnath, A. Kanyakumari on violin and Rez Abassi on guitar. The band also features Poovalur Sriji on Mridangam (South Indian barrel drum), Carlo de Rosa on acoustic bass and royal hartigan on drums.
