SEPTEMBER 2016 Sax Lavanya MINUS ONE Have you played film and fusion music other than Carnatic music exclusively … I was very fortunate to work with A R Rahman Sir for ‘Sivaji’ Rajnikanth sir’s movie and apart from that, I have been performing for Malayalam movies with M. Jayachandran sir, Telugu movies and also some private albums in North India. I am going to release a fusion album very soon. I have been travelling all over the world and so far have been to 17 countries for my fusion concerts with different artists. What is the instrument you use… and please tell us about your experience - collaborating with various legends… I use the Selmer Saxophone series 3. I also have Yamaha Soprano Saxophone. I carry my clip on mike from Shure for the saxophone and apart from that I use a Yamaha mixer. I have been fortunate to perform with Shri Sivamani sir and also Pandit Ronu Majumdar and Pandit Vishwamohan bhatt. I have done jugalbandhi concerts with them. I would love to play with all the great musicians from all over the world and my biggest dream is to perform with Kenny G. Museek Mag 39 www.museekmag.com
