Trilok Gurtu: 21 Spices

Trilok Gurtu; 21 Spices
With The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra
Directed by Tommy Smith

Trilok Gurtu is renowned internationally as a fearlessly individual percussionist and composer, drawing inspiration from his deep engagement in his native Indian traditions as well as Western influences to create music that is at once melodically intricate and dynamically engaging.

Across collaborations with pioneering trumpeter Don Cherry, jazz explorers Oregon, saxophonist Jan Garbarek, guitarists John McLaughlin and Pat Metheny, keyboard maestro Joe Zawinul and the Arke String Quartet, Gurtu has performed with passion, precision and spontaneity. His 21 Spices, featuring arrangements by the versatile Wolf Kerschek, promises to be a captivating musical experience.

Trilok has an intimate history with Perth Concert Hall, having been musical director of our unforgettable opening concert Pearls Of The Tay in 2005, featuring his worldwide band and a host of Perthshire musicians. He returned for another major collaborative project in 2010, involving Session A9, David Milligan, Ross Ainslie and Jim Malcolm, and once again in 2013 for a magical evening with his sublime trio with Omar Sosa and Paolo Fresu. We’re delighted to welcome him back.
