Gautam Tejas Ganeshan has been described as a "local treasure" by SF Classical Voice, "a dream...passionate, knowledgeable, mindblowing" by the Asian Art Museum, and "subversive... affecting and bold" by the East Bay Express.
Gautam inflects a tradition through himself, delivering music that expresses authenticity more than ethnicity, immediacy more than nostalgia. SFJAZZ called it "new music from an old tradition."
His performances allow listeners an unprecedented experience of the structure of Carnatic music, and a natural purchase on its elaborate song forms. Gautam's renditions offer "an incredible presence...gentle renegade perfomance" (Berkeleyside).
