Mattias IA Eklundh,Jonas Hellborg: The Jazz Raj

Jonas Hellborg/Mattias IA Eklundh/Ranjit Barot: The Jazz Raj (Shipping Now)

Jonas Hellborg (Bass); Mattias Eklundh (Guitar); Ranjit Barot (Drums)

The Jazz Raj is a Jonas Hellborg trio recording continuing his collaboration with guitarist Mattias "IA" Eklundh and introducing drummer Ranjit Barot. The music is seamlessly bonding Western and Indian improvised music while avoiding the stylistic clichés that are so often the pitfalls of this type of music. The Jazz Raj continues the tradition of the bass/drums/guitar trios that Hellborg has been fronting for more than 2 decades featuring wonderful musicians such as Shawn Lane, Buckethead, Michael Shrieve and Jeff Sipe. The tracks on the record are two half hour extended compositions with sections interrelated thematically using western interpretation of Indian Ragas.
