The compositions pay tribute to the cornucopia of musical forms, sub-genres and cultural nuances that form the universal fabric of jazz, creating in their wake an organic and seamless fusion that blends elements of blues, rock, funk, Latin and Indo-fusion music.

RRC, as the band is popularly known, is fronted by flautist and composer Rajeev Raja. He will be accompanied by some of Mumbai’s finest musicians including Hitesh Dhutia (guitar), John Jaideep Thirumalai (bass), Chandana Bala (vocals), Vinayak Netke (tabla), Arka Chakraborty (piano/keys) and Shravan Samsi (drums).

Raja believes that ‘Jazzplorations’ will not just transport the audience to an exploration of the world of jazz but will also take them on a journey of emotions ranging from happiness to excitement to rapture, culminating in an overall sense of peace and calm.
