  The Brown Indian Band formed by bass player Colin D'Cruz
features accomplished Indian classical musicians in concert with jazz virtuosos.
Indian classical music can be compared to jazz as both are forms of
improvised music. Indian classical music is linear and uses just one scale
(raga) to improvise within a composition whereas jazz has a much broader palette
for improvisation where multiple scales can be used to improvise through
harmonic changes (chords). Indian classical music, however, has some of the
world's most complex rhythm structures and subtle quarter tones that add an
exciting new dimension to jazz.
The Brown Indian Band uses the best of both forms of improvisation to create
a chilled out sound of world music. Hear sample sounds from the debut album
titled Fusion Lounge
