India’s rich musical
palette meets top Australian jazz talent, in a collaboration that includes
revered Hindustani singer Shubha Mudgal, jazz saxophonist Sandy Evans, tabla maestro Aneesh Pradhan and his
disciple Bobby Singh, and classical harmonium player Sudhir Nayak. They are accompanied by 17-piece jazz super-collective Sirens Big Band, who showcase Sydney’s leading female and trans musicians.
With music composed
by Shubha Mudgal, Aneesh Pradhan and Sandy Evans, and recorded between Mumbai
and Sydney, the Bridge of Dreams
project is all about exchanging ideas between world-class collaborators working
in complex, ever-evolving genres. Bridge
of Dreams spans everything from improvisational jazz to Hindustani, classical,
Bollywood and Indipop.
