Raga Bop Trio


L-R: GB, Steve Smith, Prasanna

The Raga Bop Trio is:
Steve Smith Drumset and Konnakol
George Brooks Tenor and Alto saxophones
Prasanna Guitar

Drummer Steve Smith, saxophonist George Brooks, and guitarist Prasanna — three remarkable musical talents expressing a distinctly twenty-first century perspective on global music collaboration — create a musical form that is instantly recognizable, rhythmically dynamic and breathtakingly original. The music is grounded in jazz, with a focus on groove, atmosphere and harmonic adventure, yet also deeply rooted in the rhythmic and melodic traditions of Indian classical music.

The Raga Bop Trio has a new recording entitled Raga Bop Trio which will be released in June 2010 on Abstract Logix.

They will be touring Europe in July of 2010 and the US in November of 2010. For booking information please contact Janet Williamson.
