New Delhi: Indian rhythm concepts are quickly becoming a part of the American jazz language, said a leading New York-based jazz ensemble, Paul Beaudry & Pathways.
"There are jazz drummers in New York who are studying the tabla- and using tabla rhythms directly on their drum sets. Many Indian musicians are teaching at American Universities," Tim Armacost, the tenor saxophonist and flutist of Pathways, told IANS here.
Pathways was in the country under the "Rhythm Roads: American Music Abroad", a project that has sent 150 new musicians from 39 jazz, urban and American roots bands to 100 countries since 2005 to foster people-to-people contact. The project, launched six years ago in partnership with Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, was brought to India by the US embassy.(Read more)
