It is an essential legend of world-jazz that the Rhino receives here in the person of Trilok Gurtu, great master of Indian percussion (tablas, cymbals, etc.) and outstanding rhythmician always in search of absolute harmony in the world. Atypical (he has the particularity of playing squatting on the ground), fundamentally cosmopolitan, this native of Bombay is undoubtedly one of the most eminent bridges between Indian music and jazz, an intuitive creator open to all hybridizations to offer the best of what in the legendary seventies, we called fusion. It was at this time that the immense trumpeter Don Cherry (who died in 95) gave him a chance and became a sort of mentor for the percussionist whose references also go to Miles Davis and Dizzie Gillespie.
The career of Trilok Gurtu was therefore upward and the cantor of cultural mixing (he draws indiscriminately from the sources of India, the Orient, the USA and Europe) will play alongside the biggest names in jazz-rock. , such as John Mc Laughlin, Joe Zawinul, Pat Metheny, Robert Miles or Jan Garbarek, before later accompanying Afro figures such as Salif Keîta and Oumou Sangaré. In fact, Trilok Gurtu, who has since become a reference for Indo-London groups such as Asian Dub Foundation or Nittin Sawhney, adds to his impressive discography as a leader (about twenty albums) just as many records as a side-man.
Last year, Naïve also released a new album with his quartet Spellbound, a must in this field where the sixty-year-old specifically pays tribute to the trumpeters who have deeply inspired him, and in particular Don Cherry. He summons the current cream there with a line-up that could not be more multicultural, from the Italian Paolo Fresu to the Lebanese Ibrahim Maalouf via the Norwegian Nils Peter Molvaer. And to best interpret all of these prestigious contributors, Trilok Gurtu has entrusted the pulpit for his tour to the new rising star of European trumpeting, the young German Matthias Schriefl, a prodigious virtuoso laden with prizes since his adolescence. An intense meeting that should engulf the NEC with a deep spirituality of sound.
