RASA
FEATURING PAT DONAHER and RICHIE BARSHAY
To benefit Tsumani Relief Efforts

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 energetic ³juice² of
any 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. All proceeds of the show, including CD sales,
will be given to the tsunami relief efforts in South Asia.

This project continues the collaboration between Barshay, currently drummer
for the great Herbie Hancock¹s Gershwin¹s World project and upcoming new
quartet, and Donaher, the local saxophonist and composer who Cadence
magazine calls ³a talent worth watching². 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.
