BombayJazz is four acknowledged masters performing 21st century  
global jazz. They made their debut in India in 2003, receiving  
critical and popular acclaim. They have since  thrilled audiences in  
Europe, the US and the UK with their relentless pursuit of  
compositional and improvisational excellence.

"...such a dynamic mix of sound and rhythm, it nearly brought the  
house down." Chelmsford (UK) Weekly News

BombayJazz performs a dynamic blend of Jazz and classical Indian  
music. Each member of the group is an accomplished performer and  
composer, and each contributes his own spices to the fragrant mix.  
BombayJazz explores the melodic richness of raga and the dynamic  
rhythmic interplay that is common to both Indian classical music and  
jazz, while pioneering a harmonic exploration rarely heard in east –  
west fusions of any kind.


As one of the pioneers of jazz-rock - perhaps the pioneer - Larry  
Coryell deserves a special place in the history books. He is equally  
at home on the classical stage, on the cutting edge of fusion or  
trading ferocious jazz licks with James Moody or Jimmy Smith.  Larry  
has performed alongside the likes of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, John  
McLaughlin, Paco De Lucia, Pat Metheny and Al Di Meola and has toured  
India with Bombay Jazz, L. Subramanium and Shakti.



Saxophone virtuoso, George Brooks, has been hailed as “the leading  
American voice in Indian-jazz fusion”.  (San Francisco Chronicle) He  
has collaborated with Indian classical gurus Hariprasad Chaurasia,  
Zakir Hussain, Trilok Gurtu, Sultan Khan and L.Subramaniam. Brooks  
has also performed with jazz and blues titans, John McLaughlin, Etta  
James, Steve Smith, Anthony Braxton and new music pioneer, Terry  
Riley. The Telegraph (Calcutta) called his CD Night Spinner, “one of  
the finest Indo-jazz fusion albums ever.”



In the hands of world-renowned flutist, Ronu Majumdar, the bansuri, a  
simple bamboo flute, becomes an instrument of tremendous power,  
virtuosity and versatility. Ronu has garnered a Grammy nomination for  
his fusion recordings and is one of the few Indian classical  
musicians to delve deeply into Jazz. Ronu has performed with  
international superstars, Ravi Shankar, George Harrison, Trilok Gurtu  
and Ry Cooder. Ronu is a prolific composer who recently co-composed  
the score for the award winning I-max film, “Mystic India”.



Aditya Kalyanpur represents the finest of the new generation of  
Indian tabla players.  Aditya was rigorously trained from the age of  
five by Zakir Hussain and Ustad Alla Rakha. He has won numerous  
awards and has performed throughout India, the US and Europe. Aditya  
has performed with most of India's top artists including Shivkumar  
Sharma, Shuujat Khan, Sultan Khan and Grammy winning guitarist,  
Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. He has performed with the Rolling Stones, New  
York saxophonist Tim Ries and the Boston based fusion group, Natraj.
