He has been invited to perform in Zee Saregamapa as a Guest Artist on special occasions. Subrata Bhattacharya is one of the leading tabla players in India today. He has received his taalim under Shri Tamal Krishna Chatterjee, Shri Nripen Karmakar and Shri Tapan Kr. Banerjee before he was finally accepted as a pupil of tabla maestro Pt. Shankar Ghosh, all of whom honed his talent to the level of refinement now witnessed by audiences everywhere. He has since proved himself a worthy exponent of the Farukhabad Gharana. Recognition of his talent has come in the form of such awards as the Sangeet Prabhankar and the Gold Medal and the Saangeet Praveen from Prayag Sangeet Samiti, Allahadad, and Sangeet Bhushan from the Bhatkhande College, Lucknow.

It seems the next inevitable step in Subrata's career as a mingling and merging of eastern, middle eastern and western styles of music is the trend among makers and lovers of music these days. He is been a part of the Chicago based Indo -Jazz band Flat Earth Ensemble since its inception. Quote

Steve Reynolds Posted February 20, 2020 Report Posted February 20, 2020 On 10/29/2019 at 11:04 AM, JSngry said: Really enjoyed the Sorey gig last night, in spite of Berliner appearing to have an equipment malfunction that took her out of commission for the last half hour or so of a more or less two hour, non-stop set. Don't know that any of the individuals in this band (other than Sorey) stand out as really distinctive individuals, but Sorey's compositions are such that just being able to navigate the structures with confidence and strength is more than enough for me. And Sorey himself was exhilarating, By the time the performance concluded, there were some unhappy-looking faces on the stage, possibly related to the aforementioned mallet malfunction, or maybe people just had to take a leak. I know I did! It seemed like either one long suite or just one long medley-set. There were recurring motifs and melodic fragments, so my guess would be for the former. But it was a long time for this bladder, especially considering that the gig started 15-20 minutes late and went about a half hour over the anticipated (announced?) end time. The band had us at a distinct disadvantage there, especially since I was on the front row and could not have left/returned with disrupting the very real zone that the music was creating. Also, the older, impatient part of me wonders if this type of music is presented at maximum benefit in one extended multiple hour unit like this. I do think this was either a formal suite or a constructed one made of existing individual pieces, since the players kept moving whole sections/pages of their parts backwards and forwards, but the individuals playing had not unlimited vocabularies, which resulted in moments of "oh, THIS again, eh?" which didn't last too long, mostly due to the compositions themselves and Sorey's drumming which simply does not allow for complacency or redundancy. Just saying, a little, uh...dedicated silence in between would not have necessarily detracted from anything. Still, those are minor quibbles. As I told my daughter afterwards when she used the "avant-garde" word, this is not "avant-garde jazz" not in the least. All the "jazz" elements involved here are long-standing vocabularies..But what's new and exciting is how Sorey is putting them together. This is very, very structured music, but the structures are there to be improvised over. This is nothing to do with "free jazz" and it has absolutely nothing to do with cyclical song-form based structures. Nor is it really cell based, like Cecil's music, or motif/intervallic like late Trane, it's way past that. It definitely shows awareness of both Roscoe's and Braxton's practices, but it is not even remotely imitative. One of my pet hangups/obsessions over the last 15 or so years is the realization (or seeming realization) that the only new ground left to be found in music as we know it is in form, structure, because there's nothing - nothing - new to be had anywhere else. So music like this, this is what I want to hear people doing. Not only this like this, but just putting the Tinker Toys together in ways they've not yet been put together and doing so in a way that a viable and vigorous functionality still shines through. Simply put, this is modern creative music that is both modern and creative! At the same time!. Sorey must have good people working for him to get him the higher profile "classical" gigs that he's getting, but he's delivering the goods. I'd go see him present again without hesitation. I’m seeing the band on 3/3. Not sure if it’s two sets or one long set. If I love it, I’ll be back for a second night later in the week Jazz Gallery in NYC 3/3 through 3/7 Quote

She has expanded the contemporary violin repertoire through a wide range of commissioning projects and has premiered more than 70 works written especially for her. In spring 2018, she launched Limitless, a project celebrating the collaborative relationship between composer and performer; duo commissions are played by Koh and the composers themselves. Her partner for this special Cliburn debut is leading-edge composer-pianist Vijay Iyer, whose 22 remarkably diverse recordings have earned him top-album accolades from the likes of The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Rolling Stone, and NPR; ECHO Klassik Awards; and a Grammy nomination, among other honors.
