“If there was ever a time I would think a Christmas album was fun, it would be with these two girls, for sure,” said the Texas-born singer.
The only thing that would get her in the spirit to do a holiday record was singing with her two best gal pals from the Pistol Annies, Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley.
(AP) - Country star Miranda Lambert readily admits that she doesn’t really like Christmas music at all. We also want to do more recordings in Mexico, using the Big Band orchestra setting, and perhaps even combining some Latin rhythmic elements with these songs.īollyjazz will be performing at CC&FC on December 4 at 7pm.NASHVILLE, Tenn. We are now working on bringing together more singers to the ensemble. Shola Jo Bhadke in our samba arrangement also tops the list. While everyone has their own choice, Dil Deke Dekho seems to be the song that always pulls people to the stage. We will not only be playing songs from our Bollyjazz setlist but also add some of our favourite North and South American jazz standards. We have a very special show prepared for the evening. What’s the playlist for the evening like? Each one of us has knowledge of different forms of music, from jazz to Western classical and even Hindustani classical music, which we try to use creatively while performing as Bollyjazz. Currently, we are a seven-piece band with Nathalie Ramirez on traverse flute, Chie Nishikori on the trombone, Fabio Carlucci on the trumpet, Maarten Visser on Saxophone, me on guitar and vocals, Bhaskar Gurung on bass and Shantanu Sudharshan on drums. In the past ten years, the ensemble has grown in many ways. How has the band evolved in these ten years? So, I took a new approach that would keep alive the essence of a live performance in a jazz context. Having realised that jazz instrumentation already existed in Hindi film music between the ’60s and ’70s I wanted to move away from the club remixes of the existing songs. The idea of Bollyjazz started when I returned to India after studying at The Berklee College of Music.
What is it that led to this beautiful synthesis? Blending jazz with Hindi film music is so refreshing. We hope the audience will accept us here. Some of our favourite jazz acts have come out from Kolkata, which leads us to believe that jazz has more support in this part of India. Being a cultural city, we hope people can appreciate this unique project. We feel very happy to perform in Kolkata and we find people here to be very receptive to different forms of music.
