Crosscurrents Trio - Dave Holland, Zakir Hussain and Chris Potter - are a monumental and exceptional ensemble that will inspire and excite a global audience with their formidable display of virtuosity, brilliance and sophisticated musical language. An international supergroup featuring giants of jazz and world music, Cross Currents Trio is masterfully crafted and displays a clarity and intensity of vision with a deep desire of mutual respect for collaboration and love of music.
„This equal-partners trio features Hussain in the equally virtuosic company of Chris Potter’s saxophone and Dave Holland’s bass. The trio is drawn from a larger Crosscurrents ensemble who investigated the boundaries of Indian music and jazz. Their mix of ragas swing and more besides was a highlight of the 2017 EFG London Jazz Festival. That band featured Indian musicians on piano and guitar and had a somewhat exploratory air. But in this sparse trio environment, the comfort of chordal support is replaced by the sonic warmth of Hussain’s Indian drums. The depth and detail of the band’s rapport suggests the musicians are treading familiar ground.“ (Mike Hobart, Financial Times, 11.10.2019)
