SOUL MUSIC!
Jazz in India has arrived, especially amoung Goans who have consistently produced their own legends in this great art form that originated in America. Hennessy cognac has supported jazz for decades through a series of 'Hennessy smooth jazz concert tours' featuring American artistes signed to the famed Blue Note label. Breaking tradition for the first time, Hennessy has signed on an all Goan jazz band based in Mumbai for a series of performances at some of the best jazz clubs around the world. The band 'Soul Yatra' has been chosen as the Indian ambassadors of jazz-a form of music that's widely being accepted as the global sound of music. The heart of ‘Soul Yatra’, Merlin, put together some of the hottest talent in Mumbai to form a jazz ensemble to gig internationally. The ‘Yatra’ or journey, winds its way through the global sounds of jazz fueled by strong influences of soul, r&b, funk, blues, latin, afro-cuban, hip-hop and Indian classical music. Very often, their versions of jazz standards reveal elements of the Indian classical raag and taal. Besides standards, the band's repertoire includes original indo-jazz-funk compositions. Soul Yatra is a journey through the smooth, cool, bluesy and hip genre of jazz. Bianca’s smoky and sultry vocals, Ashton’s new-age vibes on saxophone and flute, Colin’s funky grooves on fretless bass, Mukul’s rhythmic exuberance on drums and percussion and Merlin’s wizardry on keyboards makes Soul Yatra the trip you've always wanted to take! |
