CONCERT! Amit Chaudhuri Band at The Rubin Museum!

Wednesday October 27, 7PM
Rubin Museum of Art presents Amit Chaudhuri Band.
Novelist and musician Amit Chaudhuri engages in conversation with philosopher Simon Critchley followed by a concert bringing together the raga with jazz, rock, and the blues.
Featuring:
Amit Chaudhuri, vocals
Mayookh Bhowmick, tabla
Matt Hodges, piano
Adam Moore, electric guitar
Paul Williams, bass
Calcutta-born singer Amit Chaudhuri's follow-up to This Is Not Fusion ( Babel , 2010) is another captivating and deeply idiosyncratic fusion/not fusion of Hindustani classical music, jazz, rock and blues. It's a style Chaudhuri, with several albums of "pure" Hindustani music already behind him, began developing in 2004 with the Amit Chaudhuri Band, which features his singing alongside electric guitars and keyboards, acoustic trumpet and tabla. If you haven't heard the band before, you're in for a treat—dreamy raga-based discusions which incorporate the acid rock songbook, trumpeter Miles Davis ' modal legacy, Delta blues and retro Tin Pan Alley. http://www.telegraphindia.com/1050119/asp/calcutta/story_4264018.asp
