Bandish Fusion is a LIVE project by internationally acclaimed tabla maestro, Subhen Chatterjee, and his unique fusion band, Karma, based out of the capital city of West Bengal, Kolkata. It is an experience of the soul-stirring effect of sheer melodic beauty fused with incredible rhythms taking one to a whole new level of musical raptures. Karma kicked off its journey way back in 1985. Being one of the very first bands of its kind in India, Karma is now surely regarded as one of the longest existing front ranking bands of the country. Karma plays a novel fusion music which combines Indian music with elements of Afro-Cuban, contemporary jazz, and Mediterranean music. Their musical style was an unprecedented blending of genres combined with complex rhythms in unusual time signatures with a seasoned mixture of improvisational concept that was rooted in jazz as well as Indian music and harmonic influences from European classical music. Subhen Chatterjee always had particular ideas for the instrumentation of the group, in keeping with his highly original concept of genre-bending compositions. He particularly wanted Indian music as an integral contributor to its overall sound. Bandish Fusion has also featured artists like Amyt Dutta (Guitarist of Skinny Alley, Pink Noise), Lew Hilt (Bassist of High), Pt Vishwa Mohan Bhatt (Grammy Winner, Mohan Veena), and Andrew and Jonathan Kay (Saxophone).
