Artist Bio:
Jack DeJohnette is considered one of the U.S.'s greatest living jazz drummers. Foday Musa Suso has pushed the limits of the kora (African harp) in his excursions with Herbie Hancock, Bill Laswell, the Kronos quartet and Phillip Glass. When these two virtuosos come together to play music it's a special event.
Their music ranges from groove-based, trance-inducing pieces to passages of inspired improvisation. DeJohnette's elegant touch is a perfect foil for Suso's harp, while his rhythmic dynamism pushes the kora master to new and uncharted territories. —Courtesy Calabash Music
