Goa's Jazz Junction has been invited to perform at the
'Jazz for CRY' concert organised by Radio Indigo in
Bangalore on the 26th of March. The concert is being
organised to raise funds for the child relief
organisation CRY.
Jazz Junction was formed in Goa in April 2004 by
virtuosos bassplayer Colin D'Cruz. The band made it's
debut at the fashion meets jazz show L'affaire
Xtraordinaire in Panjim. Soon after that the band made
a splash at the 'Down to Earth' jazz festival in
Campal and has since performed at most of the major
live music events hapenning around the country. The
band was formed with a unique 'floating
singers/soloists' concept where a different singer and
soloist is featured at every show. Audiences get to
hear the band in a different avatar each time the band
is in concert. So far the band has featured some
accomplished local as well as international jazz
artistes like vocalists Helen Jones (UK), Najla Shami
(Spain), Scot Andersen (Canada), Vivienne Pocha,
Yvonne Gonsalves, Samantha Edwards, Sharon Rodrigues,
Suzanne D'Mello, Ursulla Fernandes, saxophonists
Neelamjit Singh Dhillon (Canada), Jayson Beaster Jones
(USA), Maarten Gamwijcan (Germany), Joe Pereira, Saby
Dias, Shyam Raj, trombonist Dennis Rollins (UK) and
Blasco Monsorate, trumpet players Martin Dahanukar
(switzerland) Frank Dubier and Bosco Monsorate. The
band has also been invited to perform at the Malaysian
jazz festival that takes place in December this year
for which the band will feature a couple of Indian
classical musicians as singer/soloist. Jazz junction's
