Arun Ghosh

The Band Arun Ghosh - Clarinet John Ellis - Piano Matt Owens - Double Bass Dave Walsh - Drums

Arun’s musical style takes a multi-era, multi-genre approach, with numerous musical influences: from jungle to punk, jazz and blues, to Bollywood and beyond. His bringing together of South Asian raags (melodies) and taals (rhythms) and instrumentation has led him to be considered an innovator of modern Indojazz, a combination of the spirit and language of jazz with the sounds and styles of Indian classical and folk music, hip-hop and rock. His music is at times evocative and introspective, other times searing and effervescent, but always brought to life, and given breath, by Arun's uniquely expressive clarinet playing and style, vibrancy and spirit. A charismatic and communicative performer, Arun Ghosh's shows are always special, spontaneous and moving events.
