Calcutta Express

Calcutta Express is the result of a collaboration that took place in Kolkata in 2004 between its key performers Italian-Australian guitarist/composer Guy Strazz, and Indian santoor player Sandip Chatterjee. Together they amalgamate aesthetic features from their respective traditions of Jazz, Afro-Brazilian jazz, Bengali folk, and Hindustani art/classical music. Complemented by the valuable contribution of their musical colleagues, they have produced a significant album of ‘cross-cultural jazz’.
