Not Just Jazz is a Bollywood/folk/fusion/rock/Sufi LIVE band based out of the capital city of India, New Delhi. Music is the thread that ties the souls of the band members of Not Just Jazz. In December 2013, they decided to follow their souls calling and hence started the band, which has become their life now. In the short time, they have been together and have performed at more than 30 venues and events in Delhi and NCR. Jazz is the genre of music that uses very complex chords so they can play not only jazz but also different styles ranging from Bollywood, Western, Sufi rock, and Punjabi pop. They perform to give pleasure to themselves and their listeners. The band has been in existence for a few years now, but they all have been in the field individually for a long time.
