German-born bassist and composer Kai Eckhardt is recognized internationally as one of jazz's most prodigious electric bassists. He gained widespread recognition through his work with guitarist John McLaughlin's trio (1988-1990), fusing modern jazz with South Indian classical music, and has been a founding member of the world jam band Garaj Mahal since 2000. An accomplished educator and clinician, Eckhardt currently leads the UC Berkeley World Music Ensemble and continues to tour internationally.
