Old Bollywood meets jazz

The Hindu  

Familiar, foot-tapping tunes of ‘Aaj Kal Tere Mere Pyaar Ke Charche’ from the 1968 film Brahmachari resound, under a star-studded sky in the Blue City. Bollyjazz as a concept for live music came up when Nikhil Mawkin often came across old time hits being remixed to club beats. Having spent some time around Jazz musicians in Boston, an idea of setting up Bollyjazz came about,” says Nikhil. Our dream is to set up Bollyjazz as a ‘Big Band orchestra’, a title that is often referred to as horns orchestra,” says Nikhil. “As a big band, we hope to re-introduce the music from back in the day, in the most authentic form possible while being true to the forms and traditions of Jazz,” concludes Nikhil.
