The Kirwani Quartet brings together Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, one of the most important Indian musicians of the past century, and saxophonist George Brooks, the leading American voice in Indian inspired jazz, with Dutch harpist Gwyneth Wentink and Indian tabla master Vijay Ghate.

Pt. Chaurasia is considered a national treasure of India. He has single-handedly elevated the simple bamboo flute (bansuri) of north India, to a classical concert instrument of unparalleled power and grace. He is equally revered for the extraordinary emotional and spiritual depth of his music and for his towering virtuosity.

George Brooks and Pt. Chaurasia first joined forces for the recording of Music Without Boundaries in 2000. Kirwani (2005), their second live concert recording, brings a new depth and richness to their fruitful collaboration.
