[Kadri with Rudresh innovating for this weekend’s show. Src:AsiaSociety.org]
I was about switch away from WNYC FM when I thought I heard a familiar saxaphone scream. I was right. It was Kadri Gopalnath. It was nice to hear something totally different from the war in iraq and drug lords of columbia. Kadri is in new york city for the next few days for a world premiere performance at the Asia society with Rudresh Mahanthappa, who I read is a relatively popular american indian jazz pro. Kadri is also scheduled to air live on WNYC’s SoundCheck tomorrow at 2 PM EST. You can hear him chat live with John Schaefer on the web.
This show is part of a broader 3 month long Indian heritage and vision series at the Asia Society, New York City, co-sponsored by the obscure India Brand Equity Foundation.
