Erik Truffaz - Benares, Blue Note 2008

Erik Truffaz is one of the most exciting Jazz trumpet players at our time, and my personal favorite since his early days with his challenge to push his playing beyond the boundary of conventional Jazz. This album explores polyrhythmic backing with repetitive and percussive piano and vocals fusing with Truffaz's echo and fuzzy trumpet style.

Personnel:
Erik Truffaz - Trumpet
Indrani Mukherjee - Vocals
Apurba Mukherjee - Tablas
Malcolm Braff - Piano
