India Jazz Suites

This School Matinee Series (SMS) performance for Grades 4-12 (suggested range) is open to all public, private and homeschool groups.

Two master “hoofers” riff on each other’s rhythmic imaginations in this joyous collaboration between Pandit Chitresh Das, one of the world’s foremost masters of the barefoot, bell-bedecked North Indian dance called Kathak and Emmy Award-winning Jason Samuels Smith, one of the world’s fastest tappers and a veteran of Broadway’s Bring in ’Da Noise, Bring in ’Da Funk. The two men solo with their own and each other’s bands—Smith’s jazz trio and Das’ sitar-based trio—before coming together in a show stopping duet exploding with power, grace and beauty.
