R.I.P Uttam Chakraborty - March To Tibet

I am very very sad to be posting this event, as Uttam was an unbelievable tabla player destined to go on and do amazing things in the music world. I was lucky to meet Uttam years ago in my house, on a magical night when he did a tabla show in my living room...little did I know he was on his way to be a master and blew my mind with what he could do. The NSB family's heart goes out to his family and friends. He was a very gentle and soft spoken sweet heart, as well as one of the most amazing performers we have seen! - Jimmy Love

An Evening of Tabla Performances (in L.A.):
In Memory of Uttam Chakraborty
Saturday April 5, 2008 7pm FREE
<More Info>

Mesmerizing tabla performances will be the focus of this special evening dedicated to art of solo tabla. An instrument widely used in an accompaniment context, tabla itself is based on a richly evolved solo tradition. The art of solo tabla takes the listener on a journey through fixed compositions and improvised explorations of themes. Featured tabla artists include: Tukluda Chaudhuri, Suman Laha, TJ Troy, Rob Elston, John Wash and Robin Sukhadia. Mike Robbins will be providing Lahara on Harmonium.

Tonite’s evening is dedicated to Uttam Chakraborty, an exquisite tabla player who recently passed away and was a dear friend to me and the tabla community. Donations for his family are greatly appreciated. We are accepting donations through PayPal, all funds raised will be wired to Uttamda’s surviving wife and child, in Sonarpur, West Bengal, India. Funds will be used to support his family through this difficult time.
