Conceived in Calcutta, bred in Bolton, matured in Manchester and now living in
London,
Arun's musical vocabulary and vision reflects his rich
geographical heritage.
Using the spirit and language of jazz, with the
sounds and styles of hip-hop, Indian classical and folk, western
classical, rock, pop and avant-garde, Ghosh's music is full of lyrical
melodies and searching harmonies, down to earth directness and psychedelic
ambient introspection.
His Indo-Jazz Sextet play original music of South Asian origin with a contemporary jazz attitude, rocking urban beats and the passion of punk.
Sweet and timeless melodies give birth to soaring improvisations and raag explorations, driven by a heady mix of dub-reggae bass, tabla trickery and
ferocious drum explosions.
The Arun Ghosh Horn E Bass Quintet features a frontline of clarinet, bass clarinet and tenor saxophone sparring with a powerful bass and drums rhythm section.
Constantly experimenting with live formats and arrangements has been key to Arun Ghosh's growing reputation for creating music that is ...at once no-nonsense, thrilling and beautiful...uproarious and irresistible (The Telegraph).
