Excerpt from Westword Magazine article:
 
"How would you spend your birthday if you were a classically trained tabla player with an ear for global music and off-kilter rhythms of all kinds? If you're mountain-dwelling Andy Skellenger, you might just corral your best friends for a jam in the city - and then invite the entire city. Skellenger, whose fascination with "weird" rhythms took him all the way to India to study tabla with the pros, will host an epic world music and jazz collaboration tonight at Dazzle, featuring a cast of very fine homegrown players in genres from all over the map... Ranging from Greg Harris and his Vibe Quintet to Matt Skellenger, Glenn Taylor, Miguel Espinoza and many others offering everything from North Indian classical to flamenco, African pop, Gypsy jazz and fusion."
