"...fleet finger virtuosity..." as described by Chicago Tribune Arts Critic Howard Reich Kalyan is a composer, musician, drummer and percussionist reflecting a journey through multi-cultural life experiences in his music and vision. He performs original compositions blending jazz, blues with Indian ragas and folk influences. The band experiments playing music using Indian ragas with jazz modes and scales. The blues tonality and Indian folk like melodies intermingle to create an interesting platform over which to improvise. Tabla, Dholak, drumset and spoken rhythms along with a jazz rhythm section create a distinct texture. At times modal, raga-based and chant-like, and at times laden with hypnotic grooves and jazz harmony, the music of Jazzmata evokes a distinct mood. This is a jazz improv group in an ethnic setting, or a tribal group in a modern American setting; either way it touches many people very effectively. |
