Bollyjazz
About
A refreshing approach to playing classic Bollywood songs through Jazz rhythm and harmony format, BollyJazz is the band to listen to if you are tired of listening to club remixes which lack flavour.
The band was created to help bring various musicians in collaboration in order to create unique sound from two seemingly disparate genres - Bollywood and Jazz - they do so by keeping the core melodies intact.
Their lead vocalist, Nikhil Mawkin, maintains justice to the Indian filmi style while belting out the numbers with a powerful Jazz approach.
Their popular renditions include 'Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si', 'Dil Deke Dekho', 'Lag Ja Gale', 'Baat Ban Jaye' and 'Chura Liya'.
Their music re-interprets Indian cinema tunes in contemporary formats, follow jazz sensibilities as all the band members have knowledge of different forms of music, from jazz to western classical and even Hindustani classical music which they use creatively while performing as Bollyjazz.
