Description
Former RPAH resident artists, VidyA is an outstandingly innovative group that merges the virtuosity of jazz with the melodic and rhythmic nuance of South Indian classical (Carnatic) music. Led by critically acclaimed saxophonist Prasant Radhakrishnan, together with David Ewell on bass (of Lauryn Hill) and Sameer Gupta on drums (of the Supplicants and Marc Cary’s Focus Trio). This night celebrates the release of their new CD.“A style that's madly percussive and sparkling … combines jazz's sweet dreaminess with the Indian form's insistent rhythmic and tonal changes.”
~ SF Weekly
“Imagine ragas and American blues folded into a single moment. It's a fusion of Indian classical and jazz, and the leader, Prasant Radhakrishnan, 24, points the way for a number of Bay Area improvisers.”
~ San Francisco Chronicle
