North Sea Jazz Festival.  We hope you can come support us at the historic
Blue Note!

at THE BLUE NOTE http://www.bluenote.net/

“They effortlessly traverse traditions, their materials repeatedly coiling
with the tensions of Indian scales and unraveling with forward rhythmic
motion. In this regard, Mahanthappa's frequent employment of a shenai-like
timbre is crucial, as it alternately gives their piquant melodies earthy
and modernistic edges. Iyer's penchant for nuance in attack and harmony
also contributes to the precision shading of the music; yet more
importantly, Iyer's daring flourishes seep out of the background to propel
the music into new directions... Iyer and Mahanthappa create compelling
music.”
- Bill Shoemaker, JazzTimes
