Vihay with Rudresh Mahanthappa are playing at Spruce Street Forum tomorrow night (Friday, 2/1/2002). There was also an article in the UT, Night and Day today

"A duo of pianist Vijay Iyer and alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa, Raw Materials is a galvanizing unit that has honed a highly syncopated approach inspired by the complex rhythmic cycles of classical Indian music and the volatile improvisational flights of avant-garde jazz."

Nice vocal by Jon, who's mainly the pianist.

Mike Melvoin's daughter, Wendy, played in Prince's band, The Revolution. And some pretty funky girl funk in the team, Wendy and Lisa. Where's Wendy these days? Let's find out...

Highly recommended by George Varga last week in the UT. I'll bet there's not even a link to the story now...links expire easily there. A shame.

Totally inspired by our Jazz in a Post-Ken Burns World: 1960 to Today class taught by George Varga. Dude knows his stuff. Links have been posted a various times in the last few weeks on The New Jazz Thing! Come by and check it out, more to come.
