Tiem: 8:00 PM
Place: Concert Hall (Fresno State Department of Music)

Drummer Steve Smith, saxophonist George Brooks, and guitarist Prasanna - three remarkable musical talents expressing a distinctly twenty-first century perspective on global music - have collaborated on a new recording entitled Raga Bop Trio. Steve Smith, George Brooks and Prasanna released Raga Bop Trio in July 2010 on the AbstractLogix label. They are touring together as The Raga Bop Trio during November and December 2010.

The music of The Raga Bop Trio is unique in that the group’s direction is grounded in jazz, with its focus on groove, atmosphere and harmonic adventure, yet also deeply rooted in the rhythmic and melodic traditions of Indian classical music.

Steve Smith – Drumset and Konnakol
George Brooks – Tenor and Alto Saxophones
Prasanna – Electric and Acoustic Guitars

Please join us for this very special concert!
