Elder Ones is a quartet performing the compositions of vocalist Amirtha Kidambi who sings on harmonium and draws her vocal influence from both Indian Carnatic and Western Classical training. With saxophonist Matt Nelson, bassist Eva Lawitts, cellist Lester St. Louis and drummer Max Jaffe, the band expands its influence to the realm of hip-hop and free improvisation. Oscillating between modal, Sufi-like circular grooves and jagged, brutal rhythmic constructions, the band equally suspects Thyagaraja, Coltrane, and Stockhausen as illegitimate fathers of their sound. amirthakidambi.com/projects Image: Elder Ones; Photo by Alex de la Hidalga; Courtesy of the artists.
