2008 Season Kick-Off with the Miles from India Ensemble
with Miles From India June 01 2008, 8:00 PM
This presentation is one of only three North American performances of the ground-breaking Miles from India Ensemble. This collection of virtuosic classical Indian and American jazz musicians (some of whom performed in jazz giant Miles Davis’ most famous works) reinterprets the iconic musician’s best-known material, fusing sitar, tablas, mridangam and Carnatic violin with traditional western instruments. This labor of love was brought to fruition through the efforts of Times Square Records head Yusuf Gandhi and renowned producer Bob Belden. East meets West in this warm and welcoming cross cultural celebration of music by one of the world’s most innovative musicians.
