Press Quotes

"Much later that night, after midnight, the drummer Sameer Gupta played through his arrangements of Bollywood soundtrack songs with sitar, cello and viola appended to a jazz trio. The crowd roared its applause." - Ben Ratliff, New York Times, 1/9/11

“Gupta is also an accomplished tabla player, and uses his knowledge of...cross-rhythms to create astonishingly original percussive textures.”
- India Currents 2007

“Gupta was particularly impressive, bringing cyclical Indian rhythms to his kit work which he augmented on occasion with tabla forays…
- By Willard Jenkins

“...Sameer Gupta’s wire brushes suggested a field of silvery light for [Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards] to dance in.” –
- danceviewtimes.com, 10/03/2007

"Gupta’s tender, undulating piece “Taiwa” reclaims the set’s sense of spirituality, finding strength not so much from volume or rhythmic drive as from somewhere deep within the souls of the artists." - Jazz Observer, Monterey Jazz Festival 2008
