Arun Ghosh biography

Arun Ghosh is a British-Asian clarinettist, composer and music educator. He was selected to appear at the Jazz Ahead! European Festival 2009 in Bremen, Germany as part of the UK Jazz Showcase. In 2008, Ghosh was chosen to be a participant in the fourth edition of the Jerwood/PRS Foundation ‘Take Five’ initiative for emerging jazz musicians produced by Serious.

Conceived in Calcutta, bred in Bolton, matured in Manchester and now living in London, Arun Ghosh’s musical vision and vocabulary reflects his rich geographical heritage.

His Indo-Jazz Sextet play original music of South Asian origin with a contemporary jazz attitude, rocking urban beats and the passion of punk. Sweet and timeless melodies give birth to soaring improvisations and raag explorations, driven by a heady mix of dub-reggae bass, tabla trickery and ferocious drum explosions.
