"High energy meeting of the East and West...finding areas of commonality and overlap where previously it seemed that none existed.”—Terry Blain
In a collaboration both cultural homage and discovery, Utsav Lal, Sam Comerford, and Nitin Mitta mine the repertoires of Indian classical and Irish traditional music to create a brilliant metamorphosis of form. Reels and jigs whirl into jhala patterns, slow airs swell into alap phrases, and the roots of the genres are woven to intoxicating crescendos inspired by the polyphonic heart of modern day Ireland.
Utsav Lal, piano
Sam Comerford, flute
Nitin Mitta, tabla
