A world class, virtuoso percussionist. Trilok Gurtu has attracted a world class set of collaborators over his long career, beginning with John McLaughlin in whose trio Trilok flourished as the featured soloist for 4 years. Other jazz greats continued this path – Joe Zawinul, Jan Garbarek, Don Cherry, Bill Evans, Pharoah Sanders, Dave Holland were all attracted to Trilok’s burning sense of rhythm.
Of course he is deeply rooted in the Indian tradition, so it is no surprise to see that collaborations also took place with the glitterati of Indian musical society – his mother, Shobha Gurtu, Zakir Hussain, L. Shankar, Shankar Mahadevan, Hariprasad Chaurasia, The Misra Brothers and Sultan Khan.
World music has become an established genre in which Trilok has further “ploughed his own furrow” with his own group to great effect, performing and recording with Salif Keita, Oumou Sangare, Angelique Kidjo, Neneh Cherry, Omara Portuondo, Tuvan throat singers, Huun Huur Tu, to such effect that Rita Ray of BBC Radio described him as “a serial collaborator”. He appears here with his new band featuring Trilok Gurtu – percussion and voice, Frederick Koster – trumpet, Tulug Tirpan - piano, keyboard and Jonathan Ihlenfeld Cuniado – bass.
