Amirtha Kidambi’s Elder Ones at Roulette Reviewed

From Jazz Right Now:

Amirtha Kidambi (voice, harmonium) led her group Elder Ones, a quartet including Matt Nelson (soprano saxophone), Brandon Lopez (bass), and Max Jaffe (drums), last night at Roulette. The music was a fantastic fusion of South Asian music and avant garde jazz among other musical influences that when brought together achieved a well-proportioned and sophisticated dynamism. Kidambi’s vision for the project began with the hiring of musicians who also brought their own identities and backgrounds to the music who together captivated the audience at Roulette.
