An interesting show to say the least, all the performers whose music we played today have had Western influences, yet play music that is truly Hindustani.
Srinivas Reddy on sitar began playing rock and jazz until his "life-changing" meeting with Sri Partha Chatterjee, who would go on to become his guru. (http://www.srinivasreddy.org/)
Sameer Gupta on tabla began, and continues to play improvisational world, fusion and jazz, with several other active musical projects. (http://www.sameergupta.com)
Pandit Debashish Bhattacharya, a highly accomplished slide guitar player uses it for Indian Classical music. (http://www.debashishbhattacharya.com)
Here is what played:
1) Srinivas Reddy (sitar) and Sameer Gupta (tabla) - Raag Hemant (Alap and Vilambit), from the album "Hemant & Jog"
2) Pandit Debashish Bhattacharya (slide guitar) with Swapan Chaudhuri (tabla) - Raag Pahadi Jhinjhoti (Madhya Gat in Jhaptal)
