The Brown Indian Band has been formed by bassplayer Colin D'Cruz.
The band features accomplished Indian classical musicians in concert with jazz musicians.
Indian classical music can be compared to jazz as both are forms of improvised music.
Indian classical music is linear and uses just one scale (raga)
to improvise within a composition whereas jazz has a much broader palette
for improvisation where multiple scales can be used to improvise through harmonic changes.
Indian classical music however, has some of the world's most complex rhythm structures
and subtle quarter tones that add an exciting new dimension to jazz.
The Brown Indian Band uses the best of both forms of improvisation to create India's contribution to world music.
The band is managed by Mumbai based Mardigras Entertainment
and currently performs on a resident contract at the JW Marriott hotel, Mumbai,
Wednesday to Sundays, 12.30 to 3.30pm.
