| Sundar Shor Live In NYC At The Gershwin Hotel Sundar Shor will be performing live at The Gershwin Hotel in NYC on Thursday, May 7th 2009 at 8:00PM, 7 East 27th Street (near Madison Avenue) in New York City. Sundar Shor (Hindi for "Beautiful Noise") is a new group comprised of Western and Indian musicians versed both in Jazz and the Indian tradition. Back from their Indian tour, founding members of the group: Brooklyn residents Russ Spiegel (guitar) and Carl Clements (reeds) perform a variety of jazz standards and Hindustani spiced originals. Augmented by bassist Jim Whitney, drummer Willard Dyson and Narendra Budhakar on tabla, the band covers a lot of musical ground. The music is especially compelling when Clements plays his bansuri - the Indian classical bamboo flute. Sundar Shor illuminates the confluence of Western Jazz and Indian Classical Music which is one of the most fertile and vibrant movements in contemporary music. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Jazz News :: home page |
