Out Here & Beyond - Kavita Shah

Kavita Shah creates music without boundaries. A native New Yorker of Indian heritage, Shah developed broad musical tastes as a child, studying classical piano, listening to her parents' pop albums, singing in multiple languages with the acclaimed Young Peoples Chorus and soaking up hip hop on the radio. Eventually, jazz became Kavita's focus, but her music continues to incorporate influences and instruments from other cultures, including Brazilian, Afro-Cuban, and Indian folk and classical traditions.

WWUH listeners can get a taste of Kavita Shah's music during an interview with the composer/arranger on Out Here & Beyond, Tuesday, August 19, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. Host Chuck Obuchowski will speak with Shah and will spin several of her eclectic musical offerings during the program.

Kavita Shah's debut recording, Visions, has been receiving high praise since its release in May. The singer brings her multi-kulti ensemble to the Side Door Jazz Club, 85 Lyme St. in Old Lyme on Saturday, August 23, 2014 at 8:30 p.m.

Ms. Shah will be joined by Leo Genovese on piano, BamBam Rodriguez on bass, Clarence Penn on drums, and Stephen Cellucci on tabla.
