music began that’s somewhere along the
line jazz and my love of favorite jazz
began while exploring both these forms
of music simultaneously I was guided to
find a narrative or a link joining both
these forms in a way that preserves the
authenticity of both in the Fanny
classical and jazz and at the same time
maintain what I like to call the essence
or the source of the composition let me
play you a short
[Music]
that was the voice of maestro should
have with the legendary chef Alberto and
the chumby that she’s singing if the
iconic have included for the uninitiated
hungry is a semi classical genre of love
songs belonging to the Hindustani
classical tradition primarily
originating in northern India sovereign
Kirito is a song about a young woman
finding for her lover lover who hasn’t
come home to her yet and this is
Lorraine the essence of a song like this
lies in the deep longing in an elevation
of love and the lyrics are integral in
explaining what the meaning what you
heard is traditionally the way eternity
is rendered the table the harmonium the
R&D and the Thunderer which – and it’s
deeply embedded in the cultural context
of the land now what happens if i take
the song as it is and change its musical
context put it in a different musical
idiom specifically bad but check jazz as
a form allows for a certain flexibility
in terms of the range of harmonies that
is accessible to a jazz musician it is a
language very different from Indian
music
in fact that Indian music is primarily
performed over a room and does not imply
harm it let me give you a nickel I’d
like to invite get him on stage it’s
basically a demo before that I want to
explain what a harmony is very basic
definition so how many is basically a
combination of three four or more notes
play together at the same time and it
complements the melody it’s played along
with the melody featuring the melody so
I’m going to sing two lines of the
that you had sovereignty into this first
one I am going to sing without any give
it is Anjali
[Music]
you can imagine the orchestration behind
the table the harmonium and this is how
the traditionally song is up but what
yeah that was exciting wasn’t it well
that’s just the preview minutes so you
feel out that space when the melody is
defined by so many harmonies the
possibilities England it’s also very
cheeky space to traverse because more
often than not we musicians get excited
by all the beautiful colors the elements
that are happening and we get carried
away with the thickness in the process
diluting the essence meaning of the song
especially when lyrics are involved one
of the most important ways to avoid
something like that is all upon the
maturity and the musicianship of the
artists involved yes among my career the
ability to identify recognize and make
very specific harmonic choices and
interpretations and as a Hindustani
artist it is imperative for me to allow
for a certain flexibility in the
harmonic content both guided by the
sensibility of a song like this in this
case it will be and of course the
essence will resolve this practice of
restraint and flexibility in a balanced
measure is what can make such an
amalgamation effective one of the most
important things I learned in this
creative process journey was the
surrendering of my musical and allowing
myself to be vulnerable and let whatever
is emerging in a deeply spiritual
journey where I’ve tried my best find
that link between my two loves make the
marriage happen and as long as the music
flows with honesty and the music makes
you single thing counselor I think it’s
magic waiting to live the best with me
to express is singing it so I’d like to
invite him back on stage Karim Allah
booty is a veteran pianist Nestle’s
honored to have him on stage with me
this morning we’re going to be
performing sovereignty when this
particular arrangement have been written
by Michael collaborator from this song
