#4985, From Soundcheck, Third Coast Percussion With Salar Nader
Third Coast Percussion is a Grammy-winning classical quartet based in Chicago. They’re all composers themselves, but they’ve also worked with a wide variety of other composers, including Philip Glass and the late great tabla player Zakir Hussain. Their new EP, Murmurs In Time, features Zakir’s work of that name, and he was supposed to join Third Coast Percussion in the studio for the session to play it. But as you may know, Zakir Hussain passed away in December. This Soundcheck studio premiere of the work features a disciple of Hussain’s, Salar Nader. We’ll also hear an excerpt from another work written for Third Coast Percussion, by Tigran Hamasyan, the Armenian jazz pianist and composer. Oh – and it’s in 23/8, for anyone counting along. Plus, hear Third Coast Percussion's new arrangement of Philip Glass' work Aguas da Amazonia, to which Twyla Tharp has choreographed a new dance work called Slacktide.
