Anoushka Shankar & Karsh Kale Celebration

Anoushka Shankar graciously replied to a recent
e-mail I sent her so in the same spirit I would like
to graciously pass on the Bulletin she
has posted on
MySpace.
I told her I dreamed of her
collaborating
with her sister Norah Jones and
father Ravi Shankar,
but turns out they've already been there and
done that -
in a way. Read on.....

special guest deejay:
AL JACKSON
(Soul Children / Ju Ju)
This son of a jazz musician is dedicated to bridge the gap
between hip hop and jazz. His musical influences range
from Allen Jackson (dad) and John Coltrane to Pete Rock.
Al’s DJ career was launched in 1989 fueled by his passion
for collecting records and the desire to start an underground
dance club. Simply stated, he began deejaying because he got
tired of waiting in long lines and spending lots of money for
clubs that were not worth the price of admission.

In the year 2000, he was nominated
for a LA Weekly Music Award as the “Best Selector DJ” and
he was nominated for a NAACP Theater award in the
“Best Musical Score” category for the play “2G’S.” He won
the 2002 NAACP Theater Award for “Best Musical Score”
in the play “Weights.”
Currently, he has his own music production company called
“Sincerebeats.” Through his company Sincerebeats, Al has
released 2 DJ-mix CDs entitled L’automne and 2nd Quarter
with more releases to follow.

9-10pm listening party & giveaways for:
ANOUSHKA SHANKAR & KARSH KALE
“Breathing Under Water”
Imagine living in a world where psychedelic raves follow classical recitals and rock and roll dives become Bollywood hangouts.
A world where one finds West Coast yogis immersed in Eastern culture and the New York underground drawing inspiration from the New Delhi club scene, where globalization is an internal state-of-being and borders were made to be crossed.
This is the world Anoushka Shankar and Karsh Kale live in and journey through. Breathing Under Water is the soundtrack of this journey as created by two of the most visionary talents pioneering the hip and fertile overlap of
today's world music scene.

Anoushka Shankar and Karsh Kale expand beyond cultural and traditional borders of music with their new collaboration. With the help of featured guests Ravi Shankar, Sting, Norah Jones, Midival Punditz, Vishwa Mohan Bhatt & others, the duo has succeeded in blending Indian classical, electronica, dance, and folk into a genre-hopping triumph.
