Jayho Jazzmata

Jayho Jazzmata: ‘Praise be to mother jazz’ in the Hindi language

Transformative Raga and Jazz:

bulletThe band experiments playing music using Indian ragas with jazz modes and scales.
bulletThe blues tonality and Indian folk like melodies intermingle to create an interesting platform over which to improvise.
bulletTabla, Dholak, drumset and spoken rhythms along with a jazz rhythm section create a distinct texture.
bulletAt times modal, raga-based and chant-like, and at times laden with hypnotic grooves and jazz harmony, the music of Jayho Jazzmata evokes a distinct mood.
bulletThis 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.

Notable Performances:

bulletMuseum of Contemporary Arts, Chicago, 1999
bulletPreston Bradley Hall, Chicago Cultural Center, 1999

****4 STARS REVIEW...See what "Wilson and Alroy's Record Reviews" say about this CD......"If you're tired of the piecemeal use of "ethnic" musics by people like Bill Laswell and Peter Gabriel, but you want to hear something beyond the same old jazz..."
