Charu Suri
Pianist and composer Charu Suri, the pioneer of "raga jazz," plays two shows at Cliff Bell's in Detroit on Saturday, November 7, at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. She blends Indian ragas with traditional jazz, joined by Louis Jones III, Michael Abbo and Kasan Belgrave.
Born in South India, Charu Suri was a piano prodigy who played concert halls as a kid. Today she plays a style she pioneered herself, raga jazz, weaving together sounds from India, Europe and Africa. Her latest album, RAGS & RAGAS, debuted at #3 on the iTunes jazz charts, and her earlier albums hit #1 in India. She has played Carnegie Hall and collaborated with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
Louis Jones III is on drums, Michael Abbo on double bass and Kasan Belgrave on sax.
Doors open at 5 p.m. for dinner. Seating for Dinner & a Show begins at 6 p.m., and seating for the second show starts at 9 p.m. Reservations are available.
