Colin D'Cruz got into music as a bassplayer with resident bands at some of the finest hotels in India. Ten years of six nights a week gigs, laid the foundation for a long and chequered career that took him through just about every genre of music, collaborating with all kinds of musicians, on assignments all over the world. An open mind, open ears and 'best is yet to come' philosophy keeps him in tune with evolving sounds of music and widens his musical horizons on a continuous basis. Colin may perform several different genres of music, with various ensembles, at any given point of time but he always finds himself at home with jazz-the most open, alive and evolving form of music. Spontaneous improvisation is the key to great jazz and very often some of the most magical moments in jazz are recorded in concert as opposed to clinical studio sessions. After almost three decades of live performance, Colin has produced an album compiled of jazz standards recorded at some of his most memorable gigs over the years. The CD may not have the slick sound of a studio production but it certainly has what he calls 'the real deal' live and straight from the heart. Slip in this CD, turn down the lights, turn up the volume, sit back and enjoy a live jazz concert wherever you are!
