Arun Ghosh – Live at Momo
Arun Ghosh is a British-Asian clarinettist and composer.
Conceived in Calcutta, bred in Bolton, matured in Manchester and now living in London, Arun Ghosh’s musical vision and vocabulary reflects his rich geographical heritage.
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.
Arun Ghosh released his debut album “Northern Namaste” on camoci records in 2008 to critical acclaim. The album has UK retail distribution through Harmonia Mundi. The opening track on “Northern Namaste” entitled “Aurora” also appears on Gilles Peterson’s compilation album “Brownswood Bubblers Three”.
Alongside his performance activity, Arun maintains a healthy composition and education workload, particularly in the world of theatre, in addition to collaborating with other musicians, writers, poets, filmakers and dancers.
