Among the very talented Indian jazz musicians is saxophonist Shirish Malhotra, who I had the opportunity of hearing earlier this evening. Amazing musician! Tonight he was part of a band Sambucada who played Brazilian music but Shirish's talent extends to other jazz genres too. Someone said he's amongst India's top jazz saxophonists today. Maybe.
Here he is on another date

Very nice. Too bad he doesn't feature on all of the Bombay jazz Collective. Found a handful of Shirish Malhotra videos on YouTube.
Staying on the topic of Indian Jazz musicians, I would to share with you the music of a pianist and a friend, Aman Mahajan. While his style is more accurately classified as improvisational music, there are motifs of Jazz, Indian Classical and world music in his playing. Check out his excellent solo album Refuge.
And his duo Tinctures with guitarist Nishad Pandey.

The president plays with the Oscar Peterson trio. Side B is how I imagine Pres to be.
"Jazz was about making your own sound, finding a way to be different from everybody else, never playing the same thing two nights running. The army wanted everyone to be the same, identical, indistinguishable, looking alike, thinking alike. Everything had to be Right angles and sharp edges. The sheets of his bed were folded hard as the metal angles of his locker. They shaved your head like a carpenter planning a block of wood. Uniforms design to remold the body, to make square people. Nothing curved soft, no colours, no silence.
March, tramp up and down the parade grounds in boots heavy as ball and chain."
" A psychiatrist described him as a constitutional psychopath, unlikely ever to become a satisfactory soldier".
"He hated everything hard, even shoes with leather soles. He had eyes for pretty things, flowers and the smell they left in a room, soft cotton and silk next to his skin, shoes that hugged his feet: slippers, moccasins. If he'd been born thirty years later he'd been camp, thirty years earlier he'd have been an aesthete. In nineteenth- century Paris he could have been an effete fin de siecle character but here he was, land locked in the middle of a century, forced to be a soldier".

Probably should post it in audiophile jokes but here goes! I just lost my TV remote playing jazz music in Spotify! My wife thinks it is my conspiracy to ruin her post lunch nap!! She does not believe that it helps her sleep even better. Now off to the second sound stage. But thanks guys to you, I have started admiring jazz as a soothing soul searcher.

I feel that Scofield is truly a gentle soul. Even when he’s burning it up on guitar, there’s an underlying grace, rhythm and melody that always shines through. Hearing him speak is like listening to him play. It’s totally authentic.
Kudos to Rick Beato, too. He’s doing all of us a great service by interviewing these greats for posterity.

This album is worth it just for the near 20 minute masterpiece Concierto de Aranjuez
