PROGRAM NOTES

Zakir Hussain’s CrossCurrents

A classical tabla virtuoso of the highest order, Zakir Hussain is well-known for his constant explorations of music from around the world. His latest ensemble, CrossCurrents, attempts to portray all directions of inspiration between the idioms of jazz and Indian music.

The great bassist Dave Holland, a player with one of the most distinguished careers in jazz, brings his singular vision to the group. The ensemble pays tribute to pioneering musicians and composers on opposite sides of the world who built a bridge that could be traversed in both directions.

Hussain says of CrossCurrents: “The influence of Indian classical music on jazz is widely known. Less known,

however, is the influence of jazz on the popular music of India. Jazz first came to India by way of the Hollywood musicals of the 1930s and 1940s and quickly influenced the music of India’s burgeoning film industry. The improvisational nature of jazz was familiar to Indian composers and musicians, who found a way to incorporate jazz harmonies and chord progressions into their work. As a few decades passed, and as the West was enjoying the inspiration of Indian classical music, certain musicians came to influence popular music in India in a big way. Among these are jazz pianist Louiz Banks, jazz guitarist Sanjay Divecha, and superstar composer/vocalist Shankar Mahadevan.”

CrossCurrents is Zakir Hussain, tabla; Dave Holland, bass; Chris Potter, saxophone; Shankar Mahadevan, vocals; Louiz Banks, keyboards; Sanjay Divecha, guitar; and Gino Banks, drums.

CROSSCURRENTS TOUR BIOGRAPHIES

Zakir Hussain, tablaThe preeminent classical tabla virtuoso of our time, Zakir Hussain, is appreciated both in the field of percussion and in the music world at large as an international phenomenon. A national treasure in his native India, he is one of the world’s most esteemed and influential musicians, renowned for his genre-defying collaborations.

Widely considered a chief architect of the contemporary world music movement, Hussain’s contribution has been

unique, with many historic and groundbreaking collaborations, including Shakti, Remember Shakti, Masters of Percussion, the Diga Rhythm Band, Planet Drum, Tabla Beat Science, Sangam with Charles Lloyd and Eric Harland, in trio with Béla Fleck and Edgar Meyer, and most recently, with Herbie Hancock. The foremost disciple of his father, the legendary Ustad Allarakha, Hussain was a child prodigy who began his professional career at age twelve, touring internationally with great success by age eighteen.

As a composer, Hussain has scored music for numerous feature films, major events, and productions. He has composed two concertos, and his third, the first-ever concerto for tabla and orchestra, was premiered in India in September 2015, premiered in Europe and the UK in 2016, and was premiered in the United States in April 2017, by the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center. A Grammy Award–winner, he is the recipient of countless awards and honors, including Padma Bhushan, National Heritage Fellowship, and Officier in France’s Order of Arts and Letters. In 2015, he was voted “Best Percussionist” by both the Down Beat Critics’ Poll and Modern Drummer’s Reader’s Poll and received SFJazz’s Lifetime Achievement Award in January 2017.

As an educator, Hussain conducts many workshops and lectures each year, has been in residence at Princeton University and Stanford University, and in 2015, he was appointed regents lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the founder and president of Moment Records, an independent record label presenting rare live concert recordings of Indian classical music and world music. Hussain was resident artistic director at SFJazz from 2013 until 2016.

Dave Holland, bassOver the course of a nearly five-decade career, bassist and composer Dave Holland has exemplified the evolutionary process in musical form, reinventing his concept and approach with each new project while constantly honing his instantly identifiable voice. Since his professional debut in the mid-1960s with Miles Davis’s legendary Bitches Brew band, that voice has been heard in a remarkable number of different contexts. Holland collaborated with

Spanish guitar legend Pepe Habichuela; accompanied the great vocalist Betty Carter in her last years; forged a new sound with the pioneering avant-garde quartet Circle alongside Chick Corea, Anthony Braxton, and Barry Altschul; stood alongside legends like Stan Getz, Hank Jones, Roy Haynes, and Sam Rivers; and provided early opportunities to now leading players like Chris Potter, Kevin and Robin Eubanks, and Steve Coleman.

Holland has been at the forefront of jazz in many of its forms since his earliest days. He leads a Grammy-winning big band, an acclaimed quintet, and the Overtone quartet. He is also part of a duo with Kenny Barron and has released a number of important solo recordings.

Chris Potter, saxophoneA world-class soloist, accomplished composer, and formidable bandleader, saxophonist Chris Potter has emerged as a leading light of his generation. Down Beat called him “One of the most studied (and copied) saxophonists on the planet,” while Jazz Times identified him as “a figure of international renown.” Jazz sax elder statesman Dave Liebman called him simply, “One of the best musicians around,” a sentiment shared by the

readers of Down Beat in voting him second only to tenor sax great Sonny Rollins in the magazine’s 2008 Readers Poll.

Potter’s impressive discography includes fifteen albums as a leader and sideman appearances on more than one hundred albums. He was nominated for a Grammy for his solo work on In Vogue, a track from Joanne Brackeen’s 1999 album Pink Elephant Magic, and he was prominently featured on Steely Dan’s Grammy-winning album from 2000, Two Against Nature. He has performed or recorded with many of the leading names in jazz, such as Herbie Hancock, Dave Holland, John Scofield, the Mingus Big Band, Jim Hall, Paul Motian, Dave Douglas, Ray Brown, and many others. His most recent recording, Ultrahang, is the culmination of five years’ work with his Underground quartet with Adam Rogers on guitar, Craig Taborn on Fender Rhodes electric piano, and Nate Smith on drums. His penchant for risk taking and genre bending make him ideal for CrossCurrents.

Shankar Mahadevan, vocals Shankar Mahadevan is among the greatest Indian vocalists alive, having risen to fame in Mumbai’s fabled Bollywood film industry as a composer, playback singer, and member of the famed Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy composing team. He sang from his earliest days but then diverted into a career as a software engineer. In 1998 he ventured into music and released his first album, Breathless (so named because the title song was written as though it was to be

sung in one breath). This quickly brought him to the attention of Bollywood, and he soon became the singing voice of every Tamil hero. He won the first of his many awards for his film music with a collaboration with legendary director A. R. Rahman, then won several National Film Awards. As time went on, he found his own compositional voice, and he has since become the leading composer in Indian film music, selling millions of records every year. In 2012 he was invited by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization and the United States State Department to perform at the United Nations for the finale of the International Jazz Festival. He previously worked with Zakir Hussain as the vocalist for Remember Shakti.

Louiz Banks, keyboardsLouiz Banks has been nicknamed the “Godfather of Indian Jazz,” and it’s appropriate; his commitment and devotion to jazz convinced his father to change his son’s name to Louiz in honor of the greatest of jazz trumpet players, Louis Armstrong. He began playing music in his homeland of Nepal, but his career accelerated when he settled in Mumbai, where his performance work in night clubs popularized the genre. His work (coproducer,

arranger, and pianist) on Miles from India brought his name to great recognition in America, receiving a Grammy nomination. In the same year, Banks was the featured keyboardist on another Grammy-nominated album, John McLaughlin’s Floating Point.

Sanjay Divecha, guitar Sanjay Divecha’s entire history has seen him pursue a vision of world community as expressed through music, which is in perfect accord with the implicit principles of CrossCurrents. Born in Mumbai, he began his formal musical studies with five years of traditional sitar. At the same time, he was listening to Western folk, blues, jazz, and rock, and eventually settled on the guitar as his primary instrument. Largely self-taught, he decided

to expand his horizons and study in the United States, and in 1987 he landed at the Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles, where he worked with Scott Henderson, Joe Diorio, and Robben Ford. During fifteen years in Los Angeles, he recorded and toured with the likes of Angelique Kidjo and Carlos Santana, among many others. He returned to India in 2003 to reconnect with his cultural roots and absorbed Indian folk music from both North (Hindustani) and South (Carnatic) traditions. His album Full Circle, released in 2008, captures that journey.

Gino Banks, drumsGino Banks is Louiz Banks’s son, and it is clear that the adventurous spirit of world music exploration is in his DNA. He has played with classical greats like Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, Ustad Rashid Khan, Pandit Vikku Vinayakram, Ustad Sabir Khan, and many others. He is a stalwart in the Bollywood Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy film music world. He works regularly with fusion groups like Niladri Kumar’s Sitar Funk, Rakesh Chaurasia’s RAF, and many others.

Rock music is in his world, and Banks has backed many dance groups. One of his best-known efforts was taking part in Bob Belden’s Grammy-nominated Miles from India. Banks also teaches, primarily at the True School of Music.
