LONDON VORTEX

THU 22ND MAY, 2008 8:00pm

Mancunian clarinettist Arun Ghosh makes his Vortex debut. His Indo-Jazz sextet play original music of South Asian origin with a contemporary jazz attitude, rocking urban beats, and the passion of punk. Sweet and timeless melodies give birth to soaring improvisations and raag explorations, driven by a heady mix of dub-reggae bass, tabla trickery and ferocious drum explosions. The band will be performing material from Arun’s debut album, ‘Northern Namaste’, released in April on Camoci records. With Idris Rahman (tenor saxophone), Liran Donin (double bass), Aref Durvesh (tabla and dholak), Kishon Khan (piano) and Myke Wilson (drums).
