Cross-Border Improvisation
The Signal (10 p.m.) broadcasts music Wednesday night from the 2007 X Avant Festival at the Music Gallery in toronto. It’s cross-border improvisation, with New York saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa and toronto bassist Rich Brown. Rudresh incorporates the musical culture of his Indian ancestry (among myriad influences) into his music, and has so many musical ideas that he leads or co-leads seven, count ‘em seven groups. He’s been getting quite a bit of attention “stateside,” as they used to say — he was named “Rising Star” on alto by the Downbeat International Critics Poll for the past four years. And Rich, well, if you follow the Canadian music scene you’ll know his playing — he plays with Autorickshaw, has worked with artists from (formely) Jane Siberry to Steve Coleman — he’s a great bass player. Here’s a nice line from Rich: “I wanted to sing like Stevie, play like Miles, and phrase like Scofield and do it all on the same instrument.”
