RASA
FEATURING PAT DONAHER and RICHIE BARSHAY

Rasa, a new collaboration between saxophonist Pat Donaher and Richie Barshay, will make its debut at the Zeitgeist Gallery on Thursday December 9. From the Sanskrit which loosely translates as the “juice” of an fruit or experience, Rasa seeks that directness and excitement in all of the music it creates. Jordan Scanella will play bass, and other players will be announced shortly.

This project continues the collaboration between Barshay, currently drummer for the great Herbie Hancock’s Gershwin¹s World project and upcoming new quartet, and Donaher, the local saxophonist and composer who Cadence magazine calls “a talent worth watching”. The two met three years ago at New England Conservatory, and have collaborated on both large and small
group projects. The music draws on all their interests, particularly in exploring the convergence of different rhythmic traditions- jazz, latin, Indian, pop, and classical.
