Indo-Jazz clarinettist, Arun Ghosh, conceived in Calcutta, bred in Bolton, matured in Manchester and now living in London, Arun Ghosh's musical vision and vocabulary reflects his rich geographical heritage.

His Indo-Jazz Sextet play original music of South Asian origin with a contemporary jazz attitude,rocking urban beats and the passion of punk. Sweet and timeless melodies give birth to soaring improvisations and raag
explorations, driven by a heady mix of dub-reggae bass, tabla trickery and ferocious drum explosions.

Arun's band continues to light up the British jazz scene with intense and cathartic performances at clubs, festivals and melas in London and around the country.

This band rocked the Southbank at their debut gig at the London Jazz Festival in November 2007 - www.youtube.com/camocivision - and has since lit up the British jazz scene with intense and cathartic performances at clubs, festivals and melas in London and around the country.

Arun Ghosh released his debut album 'Northern Namaste' on camoci records in 2008 to critical acclaim. The album has UK retail distribution through Harmonia Mundi. The opening track on 'Northern Namaste' entitled 'Aurora' also appears on Gilles Peterson's compilation album 'Brownswood Bubblers
Three'.

“Arun has a sustained momentum that lends the listening experience a cumulative power. Ghosh is gently intense, quietly screaming.” BBC review
