“Australian world music collaboration at its very best” – Music Trust magazine
Experience a transcendent blend of cultures and sounds with Barlines & Beyond, an ensemble that bridges the gap between Western improvisation and Indian classical music.
Featuring Indian slide guitarist Pandit Debasish Chakraborty, alongside Sam Evans on tabla, Stephen Magnusson on guitar and Rob Burke on saxophone, the ensemble incorporates dual guitars from different worlds—traditional Indian music and jazz improvisation—merging the rich, delicate and soulful melodies of India with the creative harmonic language of jazz.
Don’t miss their one-night-only Melbourne performance—a remarkable culmination of nearly a decade of cross-cultural collaboration and musical innovation.
