As part of its special twentieth anniversary celebrations, the Asian Music Circuit is delighted to present MUMBAI JAZZ. This exceptional global jazz tour fusing Indian and western music visits four leading venues across the UK and Europe, April 2011.
Larry Coryell guitar
Hubert Laws flute
Ronu Majumdar bansuri (Indian flute)
Rajesh Rajbhatt pakhawaj (percussion)
Mumbai Jazz is a spectacular jazz/raga mix-up matching fusion legends Larry Coryell (guitar) and Hubert Laws (flute) with India's foremost bansuri player, Ronu Majumdar. Percussionist Rajesh Rajbhatt completes the line-up on the rarely heard pakhawaj, a two-headed drum offering a deeper, rootsier alternative to the tabla.
All four musicians are accomplished performers and composers in their own right: Coryell just about invented jazz-rock; Majumdar has collaborated with Ry Cooder and George Harrison; and CTI-Records star Laws recorded with Aretha Franklin and Ella Fitzgerald and even played on Gil Scott-Heron's 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.'
This brilliant collaboration has resulted in powerful new works exploring the melodic richness of raga and dynamic rhythmic interplay common to both Indian classical music and jazz. Join us for an evening guaranteed to sound like nothing you've heard before!
Advanced booking recommended. Programme subject to change without notice. This tour is promoted by the Asian Music Circuit, the leading promoter of Asian music in the UK.
