Initiated in August 2013 by Takar Nabam, Takatrio is a band of three, which plays mainly instrumental jazz. The name is suggestive: ‘Taka’ comes from Takar, the founding member; and ‘trio’ means a group of three. The band plays jazz standards mixed with compositions that are created by Takar himself. Joe Henderson, Aaron Parks, Robert Glasper, and Kurt Rosenwinkel are some of the artists who inspire Takatrio. Coming from different music backgrounds, the other two members on the rhythm section of Takatrio are Abhinav Khokhar (bassist) and Sreenath Sreenivasan (drummer).
