Jazz innovator Sandy Evans and tabla master Bobby Singh continue their long friendship and collaborative partnership with a performance exploring the intersections between jazz and Indian classical music.

Created and directed by Sandy Evans 150 years after Gandhi’s birth, Ahimsa fuses jazz, Hindustani and Carnatic chant with contemporary electronic sounds. Each of the movements is a musical response to a fundamental idea from Gandhi’s writings on Ahimsa (non-violence), translated into Sanskrit by Chris Whiteman and Vasudevacharya, and sung by the charismatic Sriranganathan.
