Roswell Rudd and Mongolian Buryat Band To Tour U.S.

  I  

Trombonist Roswell Rudd will tour nine U.S. cities with Badma Khanda’s Mongolian Buryat Band in October and November. The musicians combined jazz with traditional Mongolian folk idioms—including throat singing—on last year’s Blue Mongol (Sunnyside).

“Listeners will be reminded of American folk music and aspects of the blues,” Rudd said. “I call their music ‘art folk’ because it combines the sophistication of conservatory training with the indigenous performance style of their long history.”

The tour includes stops at the McKenna Theater in New Paltz, N.Y., on Oct. 28, Centerstage in Reston, Va., on Nov. 1, Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, on Nov. 2, New York’s Zankel Hall on Nov. 4, Chicago’s Hot House on Nov. 5, Royce Hall Auditorium in Los Angeles on Nov. 9, Florence Gould Hall in San Francisco on Nov. 12, UCSC Theater in Santa Cruz, Calif., on Nov.12 and John G. Shedd Institute For The Arts in Eugene, Ore., on Nov. 15.
