Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain is joined by very special guests exploring the profound impact that jazz has had on both western and Indian music.  He is joined by Shankar Mahadevan (Vocal), Louiz Banks (Piano), Sanjay Divecha (Guitar), and Dave Holland (Bass).

Zakir Hussain is considered one of the greatest musicians of our time.  Along with his legendary father and teacher, Ustad Allarakha, he has elevated the status of his instrument, the tabla, both in India and around the world. A favorite accompanist for India’s leading classical musicians and dancers, Zakir is also widely recognized as a chief architect of the world music movement with his many historic collaborations, including Shakti, Remember Shakti, Diga, Planet Drum and his ever-changing musical feast, Masters of Percussion. In Summer 2012, Zakir was named Best Percussionist in the DownbeatCritics’ Poll.
