enjoying Jazz by Sunil Sampat
AVID presents NCPA Jazz Matazz Chalk talk - a series of lecture
demonstrations on various aspects of jazz.
Jazz is one of life's greatest gifts. It is the one musical form that is
true, authentic and pure. A skilled performer will interpret a tune in very
individual ways, never playing a composition exactly the same way twice.
Depending upon the performer's mood and personal experience, interactions
with fellow musicians or even members of the audience, a true jazz musician
will play the music that comes from his soul by altering melodies, harmonies
at will.
The 3-day program will indulge you in the magical world of Jazz through
talks and live music by Ahmed Ebrahim, Sunil Sampat and Naresh Fernandes. So
come join us, demystify and increase awareness about this easy-listening and
relaxing genre of music.
Naresh Fernandes is a consulting editor to Time Out's Indian editions and a Poesies fellow at New York University's Institute for Public Knowledge. His book, 'Taj Mahal Foxtrot: The Story of Bombay's Jazz Age', a history of jazz in the city between the 1930s and the 1960s, will be out in November 2011.
