About the Album

The story has been told before. While still in college, Indian-American saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa was given a CD of Kadri Gopalnath's Saxophone Indian Style as a joke by his older brother. But Mahanthappa was impressed by Gopalnath's ability to translate the microtonal intricacies of South Indian Carnatic music to the saxophone, which eventually resulted in their highly praised collaboration, Kinsmen (Pi Recordings, 2008).
