Manohari Singh on Saxophone and Kersi Lord on Accordion also combined to come up with brilliant interludes in Roop tera mastaana (Aradhana), but that is a different story. The playful duet, Choodi nahi hai mera (Gambler) also featured Saxophone. Gaata rahe mere dil (Guide) has superb joyful tones of the Saxophone. He was a key member for both SD Burman and RD Burman as Assistant, Arranger, Key musician and a number of their tunes contained wonderful saxophone pieces by Manohari Singh.

Manohari Singh, a musician, was proficient in many instruments, but was a genius with Saxophone. It is not a coincidence that a number of songs by SD Burman and RD Burman featured saxophone as one of the main instruments. Apart from the 15 songs, the playlist also includes Ilayaraja’s instrumental saxophone melody from Cheeni kum. These songs are mostly from the 60s and early 70s and are in the same order as the medley above. I, therefore, took the liberty of commenting on the songs by grouping the songs according to the ‘feel’ of the song.Įnjoy the playlist below of songs that used saxophone. It is a simple commentary on how composers created many moods with saxophone, nothing else. This article is not about deep, technical analysis of moods or understanding the psychology of the actors in the song. Ilayaraja’s mastery of western music enabled him to create this outstanding melody – check out the theme music from Cheeni kum below.

If you were not aware, you may think that this melody was composed by a western composer. His theme music in Cheeni kum is a lovely instrumental saxophone melody. While each of the saxophone pieces in the 15 songs is a delight, there is one composition by the genius Ilayaraja that elevates the saxophone into a different level altogether. Check out the medley of 15 saxophone pieces from hindi film songs (runs for about 4 minutes) to understand how composers created many moods with saxophone. There are many types of saxophone that enable a composer/musician to express many moods with saxophone. Check out the differences in sound below. We also want to do more recordings in Mexico, using the Big Band orchestra setting, and perhaps even combining some Latin rhythmic elements with these songs.īollyjazz will be performing at CC&FC on December 4 at 7pm.A trumpet, on the other hand, does not have a reed and is played by blowing air through the lips into a mouthpiece (that is mostly made of metal with a round shape).

We are now working on bringing together more singers to the ensemble. Shola Jo Bhadke in our samba arrangement also tops the list. While everyone has their own choice, Dil Deke Dekho seems to be the song that always pulls people to the stage. We will not only be playing songs from our Bollyjazz setlist but also add some of our favourite North and South American jazz standards. We have a very special show prepared for the evening. What’s the playlist for the evening like? Each one of us has knowledge of different forms of music, from jazz to Western classical and even Hindustani classical music, which we try to use creatively while performing as Bollyjazz. Currently, we are a seven-piece band with Nathalie Ramirez on traverse flute, Chie Nishikori on the trombone, Fabio Carlucci on the trumpet, Maarten Visser on Saxophone, me on guitar and vocals, Bhaskar Gurung on bass and Shantanu Sudharshan on drums. In the past ten years, the ensemble has grown in many ways. How has the band evolved in these ten years? So, I took a new approach that would keep alive the essence of a live performance in a jazz context.

Having realised that jazz instrumentation already existed in Hindi film music between the ’60s and ’70s I wanted to move away from the club remixes of the existing songs. The idea of Bollyjazz started when I returned to India after studying at The Berklee College of Music. What is it that led to this beautiful synthesis? Blending jazz with Hindi film music is so refreshing. We hope the audience will accept us here. Some of our favourite jazz acts have come out from Kolkata, which leads us to believe that jazz has more support in this part of India. Being a cultural city, we hope people can appreciate this unique project. We feel very happy to perform in Kolkata and we find people here to be very receptive to different forms of music.
