Sharik Hasan, one of the leading pianists and composers of his generation to emerge from India was accompanied by Adam Larson on Saxophone, Philip Lemm on Drums and Raviv Markovitz on Bass. The quartet opened up the show with one of their original compositions “Onwards”, which was continued by a mixture of their originals and some standards like “Summertime”, originaly composed by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. The quartet was on its India tour, Goa being the last destination. Sharik Hasan also gave a brief on their music school, the True School of Music which is launched in partnership with the Manhatten School of Music, NYC. Its training programmes will open up lucrative careers in music for professionals and budding musicians. The Sharik Hasan Quartet was a real treat to listen to and watch. Thunderclaps followed every piece they played. The Quartet readily extended the show by an extra piece as requested by the excited crowd who still could not get enough and yearned for more. The show was organised by Heritage Jazz as part of the “Rain or Shine Goa Rocks” series.
