Kolkata, SoulPepper, and ALL THAT JAZZ!!!


Phew.
I recently returned from Kolkata, where I was busy in the recording studio - finishing off the rest of SoulPepper! (If you don't know what SoulPepper is, you should check out my website, www.AdvaitSarkar.com, for info.
I have a few pictures I'd like to share with you - this is just a preliminary report - the full one's coming a bit later...
Man, I really wish Apple would make a wireless power cord! (?)

Teaching my 2nd keyboardist, Tubai "Tubs" Rai, the chords to "As Long As It Takes"

Pointing out a part in the guitar notation where the incredibly talented Raja had mistranscribed from my demo! 


Kajol Da, my harmonica player, was the only senior citizen on the crew. He'd performed with R.D. Burman, so we all listened intently to what he had to say.


Raja and I.


My super-awesome flautist, "Bappa" Da, who also plays several string instruments of his own invention. One such instrument, the "sanjo" or "banjarod", is featured in "After The Rain".

Well, that's it for now, more later.... cya!
