MumbaiJazz feat. Larry Coryell (IND/USA)

Ronu Majumdar: bansuri flute
Larry Coryell: guitar
Rajesh Rajbhatt: pakhawaj tabla
Ned McGowan: flute

BombayJazz, four internationally renowned musicians performing 21st century global jazz, made their debut in India in 2003, receiving critical and popular acclaim. A whirlwind tour of Europe in the fall of 2004 and US performances in 2005 solidified the group’s relentless pursuit of compositional and improvisational excellence. BombayJazz performs a dynamic blend of Jazz and classical Indian music. Each member of the group is and accomplished performer and composer, with each contributing his own spices to the fragrant mix. BombayJazz explores the melodic richness of raga and the dynamic rhythmic interplay that is common to both Indian classical music and jazz, while pioneering a harmonic exploration rarely heard in east west fusions of any kind.

As one of the pioneers of jazz-rock — perhaps the pioneer— Larry Coryell deserves a special place in the history books. He is equally at home on the classical stage, on the cutting edge of fusion or trading ferocious jazz licks with James Moody or Jimmy Smith. Larry has performed alongside the likes of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, John McLaughlin, Paco De Lucia, Pat Metheny and Al Di Meola and has toured India with L. Subramanium and Shakti.

In the hands of world-renowned flutist, Ronu Majumdar, the bansuri, a simple bamboo flute, becomes an instrument of tremendous power, virtuosity and versatility. A Grammy nominee, Ronu has performed with international superstars, Pandit Ravi Shankar, Beatle George Harrison and guitarist Ry Cooder. (Pressetext)
