Event Description

In Bangalore, some years ago, a very intensive friendship was born with two bandleaders: Amith Nadig and Matthias Schriefl.

Schriefl, who arguably is the topmost trumpeter in the world today, is also two times winner of the prestigious New German Jazz Prize. He is one of the foremost Jazz Composers, Bandleader and MultiInstrumentalist of Europe today and effortlessly adapts to multiple genres of music across the world including the Indian Carnatic system of music.

Amith Nadig, a virtuous flute player, who had already performed with the sub-continent’s best classical musicians was not satisfied tackling with his own complex musical culture. Hence, he diversifies into playing Samba, Blues, Mambos, Yodeling etc. Also Nivedita Sharma, a Bharatanatyam dancer who likes to break out of her genre adds a different dimension to the band with a visual appeal. The 5 musicians are constantly trying to discover the connections of jazz harmony and Indian Ragas as well as mutual grooves around the globe. It’s fascinating, when the complex of South-Indian rhythms and European harmony is created. Added are the interactions by the charming dancer who dances with the musicians and sometimes are the Alpine sounds accompanied by two young percussion maestros Vinod Shyam Anoor and Sunaad Anoor. True friendships, even far beyond the music are created. A virtuous meeting which in this manner appears to be enjoyed only in a heavenly environment, offers a borderless and an unconditional joy for music.
