Appearing for the fifth time in New York, this trio brings together two great veterans with one of the most original saxophone voices of the next generation. With each performance these improvisers probe deeper into the physical and emotional protoplasm that boils beneath all musical form. Shaikh is a recent graduate of the Jazz academic establishment and something of a renegade within the emerging improvising community, due to his singular musical personality. His music is influenced by microtonalism, early Jazz saxophone approaches, the Qawwalis of South Asia and modern improvisation styles. A Cleveland, OH native and the son of Sindhi (Pakistan) immigrant father and European-American mother, Shaikh is at the forefront of the new multi-culturalism emerging in American politics, academia and art.
