More than all that jazz
Deccan Herald – Sep 30, 2007
Says Chari “With Trinethra I am entering a new field of energy exploring both my medium and the lineage of jazz”. Chari went through a range of tempos ranging from slow to fast with Kurien showcasing movements from Tai Chi Kalaripattu and Shiatsu. Born in Kolkata and based in Chennai now Chari has extensively studied and performed jazz music in the US and was a part of the New York jazz scene for many years. He has interacted with musicians of the likes of Grammy-nominated Afro-Cuban percussionist Bobby Sanabria Max Roach Ed Thigpen Lester Bowie and five time Grammy nominated pianist Kenny Barron. There is a definite script in the sense that the music pieces were pre-selected but the stage saw a lot of improvisations. Improvisation form and process are related to each other and deeply influence each other the duo says. ‘Trinethra’ explored improvisation form and process as they unfold through time and in space.

With a12-hour grueling jet-lagged work-day finally behind me I set out to explore thecity that is synonymous with my ?private passion?. Louis ArmstrongMiles Davis Billie Holiday Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald greeted me as Iroamed the ?jazzed? streets of the musical city. Later that night I foundmyself at Fritzel?s a famous New rleans jazz club lost in the magic of?live? and ?alive? jazz music. I heard myself croonalong with the singer as he sang one of my favorites ?Hello Dolly thisis Louis Dolly?. As thefamiliar beats of ?Chattanooga Choo Choo? drifted towards me Icould almost feel my fingers caress and fly over the smooth golden keys in syncwith the saxophonist on stage. By the time the last strains of?Taboo? another one of my favorites played out I felt refreshedrenewed and more than ready to take on another day atwork. My romance with thewood-wind instruments began years ago when I was gifted an alto saxophone by myparents on my 18th birthday after much cajoling and insistence on my part.
