The evening air of 30th
January 2014 at High Street Phoenix

GUITAR FUSION, Sniti Mishra’s vocals
and the soulful melody of American
Saxophone, Clarinet & Bansuri player Dallas Smith’s musical creations
as they take centrestage for High Street Phoenix’s popular weekly property Thursday Jam-Ups. Ravi Iyer is famous
for his soulful compositions, all of which are based on Hindustani/Carnatic classical ragas with Ravi lending a
contemporary touch to them via Rock/Jazz.
v- RAVI GUITAR FUSION comprises the gifted Rupak
Dhamankar on Tabla and Crosby Fernandes on Bass guitar along with Ravi.
The High Street Phoenix audience
should watch out for loads of improvised interactions between Ravi Iyer’s v-
RAVI GUITAR FUSION and his two guest artists with some interesting jugalbandis by
the gifted coterie of musicians. 30th January will see Ravi Iyer perform
few songs from his already released album "BENDS" (a one-take,
completely live album) and few new unreleased compositions from his forthcoming
album. All the compositions and
arrangements in BENDS have been initiated by Ravi himself with performances by
international artists. If sources are to be believed, Ravi’s album "BENDS"
has been nominated for the Best Fusion Album of the year at GIMA AWARDS 2013.
Coming to the guest artists for
the 30th, Dallas Smith is an American Saxophone, Clarinet, Bhansuri
player who is part of the Swedish fusion band "MYNTA". Sniti Mishra, one
of the top contestants of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in 2010, is a very talented and a
trained singer in Hindustani Classical vocals. Sniti will be accompanying Ravi
on a Hindustani Classical bandish called "Yeri Aali Piya", re-arranged
by the master guitarist in a contemporary form. The song will also be added in
his forthcoming album.
Typically the sound and style of
Ravi Iyer’s world fusion band v-RAVI GUITAR FUSION is based on a smooth blend
and influences of Hindustani/Carnatic classical music and Rock/Jazz
styles of music. All this is translated through the custom VRAVI guitar where
the guitar happens to be the protagonist of the act.
Expect some last minute surprises
with all three talented musicians performing together, only at High Street
Phoenix!
