This ensemble is a version of Ancient Future, the world's first and longest running ensemble dedicated to the creation of world fusion music. BILLBOARD calls the group "trendsetters" for contributing to the genre. "Jugalbandi" is a classical North Indian musical duet (literally "tied together"), in this case with the unusual configuration of sitar and guitar accompanied by tabla. This internationally recognized musical team has enthralled audiences from the Mumbai Festival at the Gateway of India on the waterfront in South Bombay to Beirut, Lebanon, where Pandit Habib Khan was described as the "Jimi Hendrix of the sitar" by L'ORIENT LE JOUR, Beirut's French language newspaper. Pandit Habib Khan is regarded as one of the best sitar players in the country today. He was born into a family of musicians and can trace his lineage back several generations to when classical music enjoyed the patronage of the nobility and royalty of India. He began his training at the tender age of five under the strict eye of his accomplished father, Ustad Hameed Jaffer Khan. Matthew Montfort is the leader of the world fusion music ensemble Ancient Future. Matthew Montfort is a pioneer of the scalloped fretboard guitar (an instrument combining qualities of the South Indian vina and the steel string guitar). Montfort spent three months in intensive study with vina master K.S. Subramanian in order to fully apply the South Indian gamaka (note-bending) techniques to the scalloped fretboard guitar. He also performs on the Godin Glissentar, an 11 string fretless guitar similar to an oud that is very useful for microtonal music. He has performed concerts world wide, including at the Festival Internacional de la Guitarra on the golden coast of Spain near Barcelona. Arshad Syed is an original member of the Diga Rhythm Band, which included tabla master Zakir Hussain and Grateful Dead percussionist Mickey Hart. He also performs with the Zakir Hussain Rhythm Experience, and as an accompanist with top classical Indian music artists such as Ustad Sultan Khan. Copyright/Patent 2007 Ancient Future Music.
