about

"The most auspicious debut to come my way in ages" Jazzwise * * * *

"fiery music...variously delicate and rousing, reflects the profusion, the contradiction and the exhilaration of multicultural urbanity." Metro

"Arun Ghosh has arrived, seemingly from obscurity, with this winning debut disc...gently intense, quietly screaming." BBC Music

"This is life affirming music that transcends cultural barriers..." Manchester Evening News * * * *

Arun Ghosh's debut album, Northern Namaste, showcases clarinet-led orchestration, currently under-exploited terrain in the contemporary jazz/world music lexicon. Utilising unorthodox time signatures, the vocabulary of raags, folk rhythms and hip-hop bravado, Northern Namaste displays a kaleidoscope of sounds - urgent, meditative, erotic and heartfelt.

The opening track "Aurora" also features on Gilles Peterson's compilation album, Brownswood Bubblers Vol 3.

"Uterine" & "Where Shall I Live Now" appear as part of the soundtrack for the 2011 feature film "Everywhere & Nowhere" by Menhaj Huda.
