The Udhav Shinde Trio has been playing together on and off for about 4
years now. (Being on different continents makes it hard to play
together regularly, but we're working on it.) For me, it's been a rich
experience. Udhav's rhythmic vocabulary is mind blowing, and
challenging for me to blend with, but he's such an intuitive musician
and warm human being that it's always a pleasure to try. Judy's ability
to get to grips with these melodies (with lyrics in Marathi) is
amazing, and she gets better and better. (She also works her *** off
keeping things going and organising.) It's still quite an experimental
unit, but hopefully we'll develop things further in future.
