Jazz Orient

Biography

Jazz Orient is not confined to one type of music but instead incorporates Indian rhythms and percussion with European folk and jazz to create a boundary-crossing, genre-trashing sound, delivered in a spontaneous and imaginative way.

The core of Jazz Orient is Baluji on sitar, dilruba, tabla and countless other Indian percussion instruments, Chris on guitar, keyboards and tin whistle, and Linda on vocals. The group can perform as a trio, quartet or quintet.

Their third album featured the talents of Andy Shepard, Guy Barker and Egyptian master percussionist Hossam Ramsy.

Jazz Orient celebrates Jazz, Eastern European, Middle Eastern and Indian music creating a kaleidoscope of rhythms and melodies with intricate patterns of percussive footwork and graceful movements from Indian dance.

Baluji, Linda and Chris have been making music together as Re-Orient and Jazz Orient for over 10 years. Over that time, they have played at prestigious venues and events including the South Bank in London, festivals in Buxton, Edinburgh and all over the UK.
