Crosscurrents Trio: Zakir Hussain, Dave Holland and Chris Potter

Zakir Hussain, Dave Holland and Chris Potter are the Crosscurrents Trio. Every time they give concerts—which is not very often—it is an event, because the conversation between Hussain’s Indian percussion, Holland’s majestic double bass and Potter’s powerful tenor sax result in a glorious intersection where Indian roots music meets jazz. A ceremony of freedom, of unexpected sounds, of the joy of conversation that flows without prejudice and without a fixed path.

The ideal, Holland said five years ago in La Vanguardia when he presented this trio at the Voll-Damm Jazz Festival, is that the public “comes to the concert with their heart, mind and ears wide open. The central idea,” he continued. “is that music has to do with the human being, with cooperation, with communication, with putting people in a community, with sharing, with creating something collectively without the presence of egos, with bringing people music that shows humanity.”
