Round Robin Improv Session – Part 2
Fareed Haque and Selvaganesh Vinayakram w/ Special Guests
A night of improvisation and musical fireworks by two masters of their instruments, two time Grammy Award winner and Shakti member, Selvaganesh Vinayakram on kanjira, mridangam and percussion along with two time Grammy Nominee, Fareed Haque on acoustic guitar. In addition to a few standards and covers, the two will dive deep in the art of improvisational music and live composition. The two artists are deeply intertwined in the international music scene through several high-profile collaborations; Haque and Vinayakram are core members of "Summit," an Indo-jazz fusion group founded by saxophonist George Brooks and the late tabla master Zakir Hussain. This ensemble—which also features drummer Steve Smith and bassist Kai Eckhardt, blends Indian classical ragas with contemporary jazz harmony and complex percussion. The duo have also collaborated as part of the Fareed Haque Group, bringing together South Indian frame drums (the kanjira), the ghatam, and Haque's eclectic, genre-bending guitar style.
- Fareed Haque: A first generation Pakistani-Chilean,
modern guitar virtuoso born in Chicago, Haque is celebrated for his command of both classical guitar, jazz and beyond. His heritage and extensive training allow him to effortlessly traverse jazz, rock, and world music. - Selvaganesh Vinayakram: Hailing from an esteemed musical lineage (the son of legendary ghatam master Vikku Vinayakram of Shakti and Planet Drum), Selvaganesh is a Grammy Award-winning percussionist as a member of Shakti. He is globally recognized as one of the finest kanjira players of his generation.
