JAZZY MASALA

Following the launch of JAZZY MASALA in September 2005 we are delighted to tell you that the band is now available for concerts, events and parties.

Tabla master Yousuf Ali Khan, presents a spicy blend that explores many different styles all driven by exhilarating rhythms and the many voices of the tabla.

Classical rags and Bangladeshi folk tunes are layered with hot brass from international jazz artists Claude Deppa (trumpet), and Louise Elliott (Saxophone & flute). Lucy Rahman’s ethereal vocals and Kutub Uddin’s bamboo flutes, ensure the band will enthral Asian music fans and attract new followers alike.

The presentation is suitable for arts centres, festivals or clubs. Informal and workshop options are also available with the musicians introducing the range of instruments and musical styles.

The set lengths and prices can be negotiated to suit the occasion.
