About this concert
Crosscurrents Trio: Dave Holland, double bass / Zakir Hussain, tabla / Chris Potter, tenor saxophone. The star power is evenly distributed in this trio. Previously, these three crowd-pullers explored the boundaries of Indian music and jazz, with unprecedented virtuosity. Now, as a trio, they go to the core, beyond raga and swing, with deep and detailed interaction and a refined musical language of their own. Zakir Hussain, a giant in the world of Indian percussion, lays the foundation with his propulsive tabla playing. Dave Holland, the British bassist who played with Miles Davis, provides direction with his clear lines. Chris Potter demonstrates with his exceptional technique and inexhaustible inventiveness that he is one of the great tenor saxophonists in American jazz of the past decades.

The concert with Zakir Hussain was one of the most amazing concerts I have ever been to ever!! He is one of the most amazing musicians on the planet and he has been my teacher for fifty years now!! I have been to many, many of his concerts and they are always amazing. I just love everything he does and he gets more amazing every year. We are very lucky to have him come to The Moore Theater as often as he does. It’s always totally amazing. Thank you Moore Theater for having him play so many concerts here!!

Zakir Hussain Biography
Ustad Zakir Hussain (born 9 March 1951), son of tabla player Ustad Allah Rakha, is the most famous classical tabla player in India (and, probably, in the world) today. He is appreciated both in the field of percussion and in the music world at large. He has won many awards and much recognition for his contributions.
Zakir Hussain has worked with many leading Western and Indian artists, and has produced many works of East-West fusion, perhaps most notably with George Harrison. In the 1970s he recorded with an American psychedelic band called Shanti, with John McLaughlin in Shakti, with Shankar in the Diga Rhythm Band, with Mickey Hart on his Rolling Thunder album, and on the soundtrack for the movie Apocalypse Now. Shakti reunited in 1998 under the name Remember Shakti. Zakir Hussain has also continued to perform on many of Mickey Hart's albums, including Planet Drum, and on numerous recordings by John McLaughlin.
In 1992, Zakir Hussain founded Monument Records to produce live concert performances by masters of the classical music of India. The label presents Zakir's own world percussion ensemble, The Rhythm Experience, both North and South Indian classical recordings, Best of Shakti, and a Masters of Percussion series.
He has recorded and performed with artists as diverse as George Harrison, Ali Akbar Khan, Shivkumar Sharma, Vasant Rai, Imrat Khan, Ravi Shankar, Joe Henderson, Van Morrison, Jack Bruce, Tito Puente, Pharoah Sanders, David Grisman, Billy Cobham, Jan Garbarek, Earth, Wind and Fire, Kronos Quartet, the Hong Kong Symphony and the New Orleans Symphony.
