On Saturday May 3rd, Baluji Shrivastav, Linda Shanson and Chris Conway, who form the ensemble "Jazz Orient", will be launching the first in a series of "world music" nights in London.
Baluji is one of the greatest instrumentalists India has produced, excelling in sitar, surbahar, dilruba, pakhavaj and tabla, and he expertly weaves the Indian flavours through Jazz Orient's music. Linda Shanson provides gorgeous vocals, and Chris Conway supplies jazz on guitar, keyboard, tin whistle and sometimes the thermin. The trio feature on the album "Re-Orient" [EUCD1982], and Baluji has released six other albums on ARC Music as well.
The show takes place at The Crypt, a gem of a live music venue situated in the very atmospheric crypt below Camberwell's St. Giles Church. The show starts at 8pm and tickets are £7, £5 concessions. The church is located on Camberwell Church Street and is a ten minute walk from Camberwell Green tube station, or you can get the following buses:
