TIRTHA: Vijay Iyer ' Prasanna ' Nitin Mitta
VIEW EVENT DETAILSTirtha is a phenomenal trio featuring three powerhouse musicians who at once honor and traverse the streams of tradition. The trio will launch their exciting new album, Tirtha, at the Asia Society.
Indian-American pianist-composer Vijay Iyer, Chennai-born guitarist-composer Prasanna, and Hyderabad native and tabla player Nitin Mitta are already highly accomplished artists who shift easily among multiple musical languages. Together, they have achieved a fully realized, deeply thoughtful, and truly innovative collaboration. Combining the elemental directness of rock, the chamber-like intimacy of raga, and bebop's hard, angular drive, Tirtha achieves a profound interplay of melody and rhythm that characterizes the best jazz.
