Bangalore based jazz virtuoso Amit Heri recently set off the season at Jazz Inn, Cavelossim, with some absolutely smoking live jazz, along with local jazzmen Colin D’Cruz on fretless bass and Lester Godinho on drums.

The Amit Heri trio made sure the venue lived up to it’s name. Each and everyone in the full house made up of tourists from all over the world including a good amount of local jazz enthusiasts, were all in for a treat on par with any jazz club in the world. The band kicked off with a Miles Davis classic All Blues set off by Colin’s strong fretless bassline and supported by Lester’s tight drum pattern allowing Amit to fly all over All Blues.

The spotlight kept shifting onto a singing fretless bass solo followed by a breathtaking drum solo. This pretty much set the pattern for tracks to follow that included two of Amit’s compositions called Peace and a complex arrangement of  Beyond the three worlds. Amit led his band with absolute virtuosity, coaxing the best out of his two accomplished backing musicians. What resulted was nothing short of spontaneously created improvisational magic.

The awe struck diners stayed riveted to thier seats, some of them forgetting about the sizzlers on their plates while the sizzling sound of a kicking jazz trio spiced things up right through the evening.
