Global Fusion in Muscat
I am heading to Muscat on Monday for the third is a series of “Global Fusion” concerts supported by the Dubai based Sarasin Alpen Bank. This concert on March 4th will feature India’s master percussionist and founding member of Shakti, Vikku Vinayakram. Also in attendance will be my partners American drum phenom, Steve Smith and bass treasure, Kai Eckhardt. Joining us from India is sitarist Niladri Kumar who was featured on my first Summit recording and will also appear my my next CD scheduled for release this spring as well as Bollywood percussion superstar A. Sivamani. There will also be appearances by Hungarian violinist, Zoltan Lantos and the Ensemble Shanbehzadeh from Iran. Hope to post some photos on my return.

The Raga Bop Trio play a fluidly inventive music that bravely and insightfully combines improvisational traditions from around the world.
