John Coltrane's "India" with Anthony Brown's Asian American Orchestra - May 30, 2pm
The Asian American Orchestra presents "India": A Tribute to John Coltrane to celebrate his visionary music inspired by master sitarist Ravi Shankar. Dr. Anthony Brown has arranged Coltrane's original jazz composition to blend Indian musical instruments with a jazz big band for an intercultural presentation including guest artists Steve Oda on sarod, Dana Pandey on table and Pushpa Oda on tambura with the Asian American Orchestra.
A panel discussion will precede the concert performance to explore the influence of Asian culture on Coltrane's music, and Coltrane's global influence on music today. Panelists include musician Steve Oda; Dr. Herman Gray (UCSC), Dr. Tommy Lott (SJSU) and Asian American Orchestra director Dr. Anthony Brown, who have contributed chapters to the forthcoming book, John Coltrane and Black America's Quest for Freedom: Spirituality and the Music due in August 2010 on Oxford University Press.
