..:|:Rudresh Mahanthappa:|:..

Kinsmen is a masterful combination of cutting-edge jazz with the Carnatic music of South India and a rare opportunity to experience the virtuoso playing of Kadri Golpalnath, the Indian "Emperor of the Saxophone." Rudresh Mahanthappa is a key figure in the cutting edge New York scene of composers/improvisers that also includes Vijay Iyer, Steve Lehman, and Liberty Ellman. Mahanthappa placed second in the Down Beat International Critics Poll in the "Rising Star Alto Saxophone" category for the second year in a row. He has also been extensively featured in the non-music press, including National Public Radio, The New Yorker, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal.
