<p><span>Ein musikalisches Begegnungs-Projekt in Kooperation von ProJazz e.V. und domicil:</span></p>
<p>Im Juni 2014 kam es innerhalb der von Jens Pollheide kuratierten Reihe „groove club[nbsp]intercontinental“ im Dortmunder[nbsp]domicil zum musikalischen Treffen des[nbsp]Transaesthetics Trio[nbsp](Kazim Calisgan – lopuz, vocal, perc., Fethi Ak- percussion,[nbsp]Jens Pollheide – flutes, bass) mit[nbsp]Dilshad Khan[nbsp](sarangi) und[nbsp]Imran Khan[nbsp](sitar). Den Tabla-Part übernahm das erst[nbsp]15jährige[nbsp]Dortmunder Talent[nbsp]Navid Delawazarda.</p>
<p><br /><span>Alle Musiker und auch das Publikum waren derart begeistert vom spontanen Zusammenspiel, dass</span><span>[nbsp]</span><span>für das Folgejahr nun</span><span>[nbsp]</span><span>mehrere gemeinsame Auftritte stattfinden sollen. Im Zentrum steht dabei die</span><span>[nbsp]</span><span>Begegnung der Musiker und die</span><span>[nbsp]</span><span>Zusammenführung der jeweiligen musikalischen Einflüsse.</span><br /><br /><span>Daher spielen beide Gruppen zunächst kurze Solo-Sets, bevor im 2. Konzertteil alle Musiker</span><span>[nbsp]</span><span>miteinander spielen. Liebhaber</span><span>[nbsp]</span><span>der klassischen indischen Musik können sich auf ein besonderes</span><span>[nbsp]</span><span>Erlebnis freuen, spielen Dilshad und Imran Khan doch mit</span><span>[nbsp]</span><span>so bekannten Leuten wie dem Tabla-</span><span>[nbsp]</span><span>Virtuosen Zakir Hussain zusammen. Programmdauer insgesamt 100 Minuten.</span><br /><br /><span>Imran Khan[nbsp]</span><span>belongs to the famous lineage of the Sikargharana (school of music) that has given many</span><span>[nbsp]</span><span>stalwarts to Indian classical</span><span>[nbsp]</span><span>music.
