Description
Tom Bancroft's 'In Common'
Strip away the surface features and jazz, electronica, Scottish traditional music and Indian classical music all share:
- drone,
- groove & rhythm,
- collective and individual improvisation,
- melodies and scales/raags,
- vocal rhythmic patterns.
This new project by Tom Bancroft starts with the bodhran and the tabla and a drone,
adds Indian Classical Violin and improvising jazz guitar, and continues adding layers and voices from different traditions, in a creative new project that focuses on the common ground between Scottish music, jazz, Indian music and electronica.
Sharat Chandra Srivastava (violin), Gyan Singh (tabla), Tom Bancroft (bodhran & drums), Graeme Stephen (guitar & loops), Sophie Bancroft (voice), Gina Rae (voice), Inge Thomson (voice & electronics).
