2010 went by in a flash and it's been over a year since my last post... Here are the stand outs from the past year. In the upcoming months I look forward to performances at The Stone, The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and The Houston International Festival. Please come back from time to time to check out new project and performance announcements that are on the horizon.
Highlights from this past year include recording Sacha Silva's upcoming release (March 2011) at The Hatch in the UK countryside (www.thehatchstudio.co.uk). The state-of-the-art recording facility is beautifully situated on an organic farm far away from the distractions of London and city life. I played a hybrid set-up of
drums and percussion, and enjoyed a great week of home-cooked food, wine and lettuce from the garden. Sacha's multi-national based ensemble will be in New York April 3rd to 9th for performances in Manhattan and Brooklyn--please check my calendar page for more details.
Red Baraat toured the U.S. and Scandinavia playing festivals in Norway (Molde Jazz) and Finland (Pori Jazz) to throngs of new Dhol n' Brass Bhangra-Funk converts. We shared flights and billings with Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Missy Elliot, Gil Scott-Heron, and Fly (Mark Turner, Jeff Ballard, Larry Grenadier). Lotus Fest in Bloomington, IN was a highlight of our midwest tour.
