As a child in school I remember going to Bandstand to listen to the Navy Band play popular tunes on weekends. The musicians were all smartly turned out in their white starched uniforms. Managed by a dedicated team of jazz music lovers the Jazz Utsav has overcome all odds of poor funding and no sponsors to keep its flag flying high with some great concerts over the years. Unfortunately we in India only look for recognised names. But Jazz Utsav has consistently featured GREAT JAZZ and not JAZZ GREATS. Artists who are talented and really well-known in their own countries have been performers at our festivals.

Her voice a rich contralto with a baritone resonance is so commanding that when a song’s attitude is combative she can scare you. But when the mood is playful she can also enfold you in a musical bear hug.

That rawness combined with sophisticated jazz technique that embraces some rough scat improvisation and the support of an excellent pianist (Brad Hatfield) makes for a style that lends much of what she sings a cosmic dimension. In the first of her two sets on Wednesday evening sadness outweighed joy as Ms. Parris and her trio (Dean Johnson on bass and Matt Gordy on drums in addition with to Mr. Hatfield) eviscerated three classic torch songs.
Sufi soundscapes and rhythms explored in progressive jazz

It makes for a fascinating mix with Youssef’s chant-like singing adding a spiritual and African quality to the music. The individual numbers start of very rhythmically almost gently and build up to a crescendo which is achieved both in rhythm and sound becoming almost hypnotic in its repetitiveness while pursuing an underlying melody.

It’s not often a bass guitarist is given a solo but that’s the genius of this outfit. They make their own rules and come up with music that wraps itself around your body in a most unusual fashion. What you make of it is up to every individual.
