 dresh Mahanthappa | Hailed by Pitchfork as “jaw-dropping… one of the fin
 est saxophonists going\,” alto saxophonist\, composer and educator Rudre
 sh Mahanthappa is widely known as one of the premier voices in jazz of t
 he 21st century. He has over a dozen albums to his credit\, including th
 e acclaimed Bird Calls\, which topped many critics’ best-of-year lists f
 or 2015 and was hailed by PopMatters as “complex\, rhythmically vital\, 
 free in spirit while still criss-crossed with mutating structures.” His 
 most recent release\, Hero Trio\, was considered to be one of the best j
 azz albums of 2020 by critics and fans alike. Rudresh has been named alt
 o saxophonist of the year for nine of the last eleven years running in D
 ownbeat Magazine’s International Critics’ Polls (2011-2013\, 2015-2018\,
  2020-1)\, and for five consecutive years by the Jazz Journalists’ Assoc
 iation (2009-2013) and again in 2016. He won alto saxophonist of the yea
 r in the 2015-2018 & 2020 JazzTimes Magazine Critics’ Polls and was name
 d the Village Voice’s "Best Jazz Artist" in 2015. He has also received t
 he Guggenheim Fellowship and the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award\, am
 ong other honors\, and is currently the Anthony H. P. Lee ’79 Director o
 f Jazz at Princeton University. With an astonishing facility and power o
 n the horn\, and an inspired array of ensembles he’s led or played in si
 nce his emergence in the late ’90s-early ’00s\, Mahanthappa continues to
  create music alive with rhythmic urgency\, steeped in the lineage of ja
 zz saxophone and responsive to traditions and practices of the wider mus
 ical world. “Definitely one of the strongest voices on the jazz scene.” 
 Paula Edelstein\, All Music Born in Trieste\, Italy to Indian émigrés in
  1971\, Mahanthappa was brought up in Boulder\, Colorado and gained prof
 iciency playing everything from current pop to Dixieland. He went on to 
 studies at North Texas\, Berklee and DePaul University (as well as the S
 tanford Jazz Workshop) and came to settle in Chicago. Soon after moving 
 to New York in 1997 he formed his own quartet featuring pianist Vijay Iy
 er. The band recorded an enduring sequence of albums\, Black Water\, Mot
 her Tongue and Codebook\, each highlighting Mahanthappa’s inventive meth
 odologies and deeply personal approach to composition. He and Iyer also 
 formed the duo Raw Materials. Coming deeper into contact with the Carnat
 ic music of his parents’ native southern India\, Mahanthappa partnered i
 n 2008 with fellow altoist Kadri Gopalnath and the Dakshina Ensemble for
  Kinsmen\, garnering wide acclaim. Apti\, the first outing by Mahanthapp
 a’s Indo-Pak Coalition (with Pakistani-born Rez Abbasi on guitar and Dan
  Weiss on tabla)\, saw release the same year\; Agrima followed nine year
 s later and considerably expanded the trio’s sonic ambitions. In 2020\, 
 Rudresh released Hero Trio\, an album of “covers” paying tribute to his 
 musical heroes followed by the digital EP Animal Crossing in 2022 with t
 he same trio. He also co-led a project celebrating the centenary of Char
 lie Parker with the blessing of the Parker estate. “... the US-raised al
 to saxophonist who astutely fuses western and Indian traditions with min
 d-bending jazz rhythms...” — John Fordham\, The Guardian Mahanthappa has
  also worked with Jack DeJohnette\, Mark Dresser\, Danilo Pérez\, Arturo
  O’Farrill’s Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra\, the collaborative trios MSG and
  Mauger\, the co-led quintet Dual Identity with fellow altoist Steve Leh
 man\, and another co-led quintet with fellow altoist and Chicago stalwar
 t Bunky Green (Apex). His exploratory guitar-driven quartets on Samdhi a
 nd Gamak featured David Gilmore and Dave “Fuze” Fiuczynski\, respectivel
 y. In 2015 he was commissioned by Ragamala Dance to create Song of the J
 asmine for dancers and a hybrid jazz/South Indian ensemble. He was also 
 commissioned by the PRISM Saxophone Quartet to compose a chamber piece\,
  “I Will Not Apologize for My Tone Tonight\,” which can be heard on the 
 quartet’s 2015 double-disc release Heritage/Evolution\, Volume 1. He was
  recently commissioned by the AACM’s Great Black Music Ensemble to compo
 se “Finding Our Voice” which premiered in 2021. Mahanthappa is a Yamaha

  greatest influence\, and with whom he has played since 1991. He has tau
