An NCPA Presentation

Jazz Classics and Standards: Songs from the Pan American
Songbook

Over the years, as ideas, technology and people move more and more freely across the planet we have witnessed a fascinating range of musical collaborations taking place in the city we affectionately call Bombay.

This vibrant city has brought together a diverse collection of musicians who have come to Bombay over many years in search of knowledge and inspiration from the great cultural and musical traditions here.

Converging in February 2017 is a diverse group of visiting musicians who bring a wealth of rich musical experience to the city’s cultural landscape.

Jazz Classics and Standards: Music from the Pan American Songbook, is a musical tribute to this city that has given us so much; and NCPA, which has done so much over the years to support and promote Jazz and creative musical expression.
This program will feature beloved songs from the likes of Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Horace Silver, Henry Mancini, Cole Porter, along with other classics from New York, Hollywood, South America and the Carribean and much more.

The program’s repertoire includes swinging funky grooves, wailing improvisation, jazzy riffs, Latin beats, and soulful nonstop musicmaking.
