DESCRIPTION:
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 project by Tom Bancroft started with the bodhran and the tabla and a drone,
added Indian Classical Violin and improvising jazz guitar, folk song and jazz singers,
and continues adding layers and voices from different traditions,
 in a creative evolving project that focuses on the common ground

between Scottish music, jazz, Indian music and electronica.
