Virtuosity - of a dazzling, ebullient, yet altogether generous sort - might be the most obvious bridge between David Holland and Zakir Hussain. But there's also a deep cultural foundation behind their musical dialogue, which forms the beating heart of a project called Crosscurrents.
Hussain, a peerless master of the Indian tabla, and Holland, an English-born bassist of sterling jazz renown, were both shaped in some way by the 1960s, a decade of awakening and convergence. In this episode of Jazz Night in America, we'll explore the influence of Indian music on the jazz and rock scenes of that era - as well as the less familiar story of jazz's influence on the subcontinent, embodied by musicians like pianist and composer Louiz Banks.
We'll hear music from a recent Jazz at Lincoln Center concert led by Hussain and Holland. Crosscurrents also features Banks, his son, drummer Gino Banks, along with acclaimed American saxophonist and flutist Chris Potter, Bollywood vocal star Shankar Mahadevan and Mumbai-based jazz guitarist Sanjay Divecha. We'll also get some valuable outside perspective from percussionist Sameer Gupta and other musicians in Brooklyn Raga Massive, which pursues a similar form of thrumming exchange.

"America's gift to the world is jazz"- what a great line.
I saw this concert Live over a year ago. I urge people to go see musicians live. UA-cam cannot match that experience.
Lucky !
I heard Ustaz Zakir Hussain 2 weeks back live, it was an amazing experience. But this is definitely a notch above
Agree
Omg I saw circuits trio last feb. they blew the house down. My band canceled rehearsal because half the band bought tickets to that show!
Oh my. So jealous.
Wow!! And that is why music should be officially declared as the world's official language.
😃😃
Agree!
lol, then I would love to see the diplomatic talks or diplomatic complex music.
It is...it will be..sound is a element which is universal..
Music has no boundaries.

We are fortunate to have access to this music, in a click. Thanks Zakir and Dave to play.
Try telling that to millenials..
@@EnterSpacebar Hahaha, yes.
it’s a miracle
Drummer Gino rolls it like there's no tomorrow!
Potter’s work here is stunningly good - playful, melodic, sensitive, and respectful. This is how jazz is supposed to be.
so true
I absolutely loved it, though to just push back a teeeeny tiny bit, I think some of the greatest compositions, whatever the genre, come from those who refuse to accept, “what is supposed to be”. Really, even this amalgamation of “east meets west”, was once considered some sort of blasphemy by “purists” on all sides, and would still today be considered vulgar by such folks. I know what you mean, generally speaking, and I agree, but I had to antagonize just a little. (If you want to even call it that, or push back, it really isn’t either.)
However you want to define or describe it, this was absolutely mind-blowing, and imo, a perfect performance! ✌️
Missed the point a little in my opinion!?! It was a fusion and credit goes to the marriage of jazz and indian classical.. I love jazz for what it is and appreciate all that i have heard.. However, keeping an open ear might have helped understand the intent of the concert.. No disrespect just my opinion..

This was uploaded over a year ago and youtube decided to tell me now 🙄🙄
I could say the same 😉
UA-cam is retarded. It goes into cul-de-sacs where it ends up suggesting videos you've seen 5 times.
Same here (=
It's a gem
Same
Thats what even I'm thinking of..... 🤔🤔
Chris Potter you are the best jazz improviser I've encountered for decades! A great artist!
Shankar Mahadevan is magnificent
They are like music scientists..
GENTLEMEN: THE privilege and HONOUR of being ABLE to HEAR and WITNESS such PERFECTION is BEYOND my IMAGINING. YOU ASTOUND THE heavenly hosts. THEY had to be UTTERLY ENTHRALLED and HOPELESSLY OVERCOME WITH JOY.......RESPLENDENT GLORY.........ALL I CAN DO IS WEEP FOR JOY....PURE EFFULGENT RAPSODY....SO GRATEFUL TO EACH ONE OF YOU. . . . and filled with gratitude for this generous opportunity !!! !!
Heroes are saving the world!!!
Chris Potter... wow, just wow. Those subtleties he creates in his notes are fantastic. And Zakir Hussain as majestic as ever. Dave Holland I've listened to and loved for years. And everybody else is fabulous. Thank you for this.
This is what im thinking for my entire life since i was 17... a jazz with classical tabla beats. Awesome.
Might want to check out John McLaughlin and Shakti.
Check out Trilok Gurtu
Also check out Mohini Dey.
Also look for Brooklyn Raga Massive (there's a youtube channel) and after that, google the various musician's names in that large ever-shifting ensemble.
Also look for the group Natraj, and check out the compilation album _Miles from India_.
Mohiney noobs ..
Two days back I had the opportunity to see Ustad Zakir Hussain live. People should watch these musicians play live.. Its an out of the world experience..
Whow, Shankar Mahadevan is new for me. That voice is so effortless and warm, he wanders the spectrum so lightfooted and stays completely crystalclear on point, pure joy! The whole ensemble fits wonderfully together.
Listen to breathless by him
Psychedelic Intro song 'Radhe Rani'... Freakin' Brilliant.
A group headlined by Hussain, Holland, plus Potter and other important musicians that presently i don't know but surely are the best in their field, couldnt be better than this...... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Do checkout Ustad Zakir sahab on tabla..
And Shanker mahadevan
I love when it cuts to Zakir Hussein, and he’s just in an absolute trance, so fully and completely absorbed into his playing. Also, when he and Holland are going one on one together, the interplay is just mesmerizing! This whole performance was mesmerizing, and absolutely genius. Thank you! 🙏❤️♾
Jazz and Indian Classical instrumental have the same DNA !!! Great synthasis of East and West and of ancient tradition and modern. Simply mesmerising !! You HAVE to see a live show to really GET into it .
I DO NOT KNOW IF YOU CAN SAY BOTH HAVE SAME DNA .Jajj came from Africa
In 55:01, Shankar mahadevan blew up the whole stage and minds of every single person.
Being an Indian I was very impressed by Sir Chris Potter
Chris is something really special... I've been so impressed and amazed at the range of Chris's playing, and how the real elevated musicality and honesty that is always there. He knows music, and really seems to dive all in, and put the music first. A treasure.
Do you know Don Cherry ?
@@taf44tt8io CODONA 1, CODONA 2 and CODONA 3
So many things can go wrong during live performance but they are legends for a reason ain't it?
My goodness, that 10/8 composition and that saxophone player potter..... love from Pakistan
Zakir got me into learning Tabla.
He's a master.
And where u from?
This is great stuff. Folks might also enjoy pieces by early Oregon, when Collin Walcott was their sitarist/tablist (from about 1970-1984). Walcott studied with Hussain's father on tabla (and Ravi Shankar on sitar). After Walcott's death in '84, they worked with another great tabla player, Trilok Gurtu. With compositions primarily by Ralph Towner, they're less overtly Indian in their styling, but there's clearly a strong cross-cultural interplay there. Kind of wish they'd been mentioned in that discussion of jazz and Indian music!
This must be one of the most cross-over-events that you can even imagine. Afro-american jazz gets married to Indian sort of tabla- and sitar-music. As I can understand, this marriage works out very well in the end, so pehaps we can say that this is a success marriage. This music will bring us to understand each other and make a stop for all stupid people that think that it is only their own culture and music that counts.
Shankar Mahadevan is outstanding. Shakir Hussain's Tabla proved that Jazz can be spiced up with Indian flavours.
All of em are fire but Chris Potter and Ustaad Zakir Hussein are an inferno! Damn!!!
Shankar has a golden voice, but he smiles naughtily looking at Zakir sir every time he goes out of tune loved it ..
right on
Haha.. Right
If you really think that he went out of tune and that's why he smiled, you should get your senses checked.
Shankar Mahadevan moves his hands as though he were playing a theremin. And his voice moves as though IT were a theremin. Amazing.
Music, the healing light and vibratory force for humanity in all its hues of coloration....thank you MOST HIGH
Fantastic jazz with Indian classical.very soothing to mind and uplifts one's spirit.
Ohhh... So this is how legends enjoy themselves & have a gud time...!? ☺️👌
Great 😁😄🇮🇳
I love what Chris Potter does at the end of Shadow 34:54
I don't know what possessed me to type "Jazz India" into the UA-cam search, but this is one of the things that came up. Thoroughly impressed. All of the musicians are great. Chris Potter can really play the horn, excellent bass and the tablas sound great, not to speak of the guitar and keys.
me too... what's wrong with us.. :')
What did you think of the vocals though..
also check out "Return to Shakti" if you liked this. John McLaughlin, electric guitar, plus Indian instruments
This Level is Beyond Human Perception!!! ...लीला!!!
Thank you for another Zakir who is very musical seems to be more peaceful. Krishna Hi used to take us to London to enjoy Ravi Shankar. Amazing music. Thank you America for jazzing it up.
If you have mentioned Shankar mahadevan, number of views have been different. He is one of the finest indian singer who has great control over his voice.
Never heard of any of these musicians previous to stumbling on this. Yes, wow! All four are fabulous! The way they meld their playing blows me away! I've heard many other attempts at fusing two musical traditions but many times they basically consist of switching from one to the other, no true meld. Here the fusion is perfect. Just perfect!
First heard Zakir Hussain play tabla in his teens !!! ...along with young Shiv Shankar on Santoor at a private house recital way back in the 60's .!!! .... His father Maestro Alla Raka performed in our small town music conference .... already s big name .... sheer joy to see the legacy carried forward to such heights !!!!
Dave Holland on that bass is all that I wanted to hear this year
إنتشينا إيقاعاً و نغماً ... جمال على جمال .
I remember rockin nehru jackets when I was a young lad. My fashion choice, not my parents. A gold one & a dark green one - to church mainly. The Beatles introduced the Maharishi Yogi to youth culture globally. Ghandi... etc. Changed my life
Me and my wife were lucky enough to catch this live in Boston. Memorable concert!!
Finally..Some high quality content on UA-cam!
And there it is..... What a soulful recommendation from UA-cam... Amazing 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇱🇷🇱🇷
the level at which these guys operate ... fabulous !!!
Coltrane's spirit floating and dancing around surfing freely on the sound waves smiling and saying my vision's fulfill I can join God now Amen
Excellent groove at Jazz Night in America. Thanks Crosscurrents for the magic carpet ride. Sounds good from here. How sweet it is.
Sir Louis Banks used to live in our neighborhood in kolkata's park street area. He and late Sir Carlton Kito on guitar were a great jazz pair, playing at the Blue Fox. It would have been wonderful to watch Carlton Sir play with them.
GRANDIOSO, Gracias creador de la vida, por darnos estos regalos.
To blend Indian classical music with Jazz is difficult as it can get, yet I was so impressed. Spellbinding.
Peace Be The Journey. Spiritual Jazz.🙏🏾🌍
India's gift to World is all Indian percussion culture
Thanks to All Guru's Teaching and sharing the priceless experience with everyone
Ok I want this played at my funeral party lol🙏🦋
So all others die too 😂😂
Like World prayer, this is world music.
52:45 amazing vocal leading the instruments
A must have. This is...I was going to say, art,...But it resists definition.
I was there at the concert. It was mesmerizing watching live.
Did you sleep that and the follows nights ? :)
First time in my life I was at a Zakir's concert,, the first set lasted two hours !!!! It was more than thirty years ago, and it was one of the most beautiful performance I have never attended. I'll never forget !!!!
Zakir on table is what Prince was on guitar. Free.
Not even close.. zakir on tabla is what stevie ray Vaughan, jimi Hendrix or bb king were on the guitar...
iT'S A TRUE BLESSING TO BE WITNESS TO THIS HIGH END PERFROMANCE. PEACE TO ALL .
This has a Weather Report vibe to it and that's a fabulous vibe indeed.
Dear Lord ... the interplay is just brilliant !
Utterly enthralling. All the blue notes get fully exploited in both traditions!
I saw Holland with Don Cherry and an African drummer in a beautiful hall - maybe 600 people - no pa. Simply the HUGEST harmonies I've ever heard this side of a full Wagnarian orchestra. All implied and "in the air", of course, but an absolutely extraordinary acoustic muso!
thank you for the ad free music video 'Jazz Night in America". Hats's off to these legends 🙏🙏🙏
india...a land of music
the tabla entrance is sooo beaitiful...that completes it all
Singing Sensation, Tabla Maestro...Jazz Just Awesome......It is just WOW!!!!
Out of Control 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!!
OMG ... just gets better as it continues. Thankyou.Divine🦋 All these musicians are soooooo good🦋☺️oh Zakir....out of this world! Makes being here worth it.
At just shy of 10 minutes and I’m already in heaven!
Super concierto bellísimo saludos de Centro América
Turbo каеф!!) All of 'em are crazy
Normal person will be never called as ustad ...for ustad there is a meaning in it...meaning is Zakir Hussain...soul of tabla
when music becomes art, and the art of music reaches beyond all notes
Awesome! Music! The ultimate uniter of cultures!
What a privilege to listen to this :) We are very lucky to have these amazing people among us.
This music is not Earth worthy, it belongs to much beyond. My ears feel blessed after listening to the maestros on top of their craft.
I love Jazz and Indian music so this is great.
I just sat on a chair, close my eyes and went places.😍 What a beautiful journey it took me on! Oh my my!😌😍
I saw this on my first visit to US it completely enhanced my journey. Nothing comes closer to watching it live in that environment of the Lincoln center.
can we just truly appreciate zakir hussain in this..he is genius.. Chris was on next level too.. amazing stuff
1 hour and 55 minutes of pure bliss. I might have never watched another 'music video' of this length on youtube ever, and not once did I feel like skipping ahead (in fact i went back and listened at many places). Awesome!
I honestly didn't think I would watch the entire show, but it just kept getting better!
No words enough to describe these moments
Today I searched on Utube indian and western music fusion after all I got really good stuff where I can hang for 2 hours continue again n again
Such Masters on one stage, Vocals coudn't have been better. Tabla is super...
Great concert. My favorite parts are when Zakir and Dave play as a duo - the joy on their faces when they synch up is priceless. You don't have to be telepathic to play in sync like them, but it helps :) Thanks for the upload !
ALL of the musicians are amazing!
Now! This should be considered as a gift from God.The music of course! But also the very fact that we could watch this right here right now. If this still could not make you satisfied, I don’t know what more do you want for being a alive
So true!
Tabla tuned to the fifth instead of the root. Very cool!
Absolutely marvelous musicians, all of them.
Fascinante.... hipnótico. Las composiciones y las ejecuciones. Woooowww.
Zakir Hussain, the Al Pacino of tabla!
This is a joy for the heart, the mind and the spirit. Thank you God, for giving us humans this heights of beauty, among all the rest.
I've watched Zakir Hussain and Louis Banks since the 70s tho I haven't been to any concerts in the past few years. This only makes me realize I've missed jazz for far too long.
Shankar Mahadevan was a good surprise tho.
Music connects...because we are never separated.
Muhteşem, Very good, harika, Türkiye'den selamlar..👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰
Oh these people... they derive something divine from their music!
