WOW... It took me 32 minutes to get through this piece the first time. I kept stopping, rewinding, pausing, thinking, sitting in awe. I love music. And, what music this is. I could feel a classical vibe, a jazz vibe, a funk vibe, a pop-culture dancing with the stars vibe, all while kicking a traditional Asian swag. Great talent, great composition. Well done!!!

[@kavemankarl2588]

It's called fusion 😎

[@a324111]

Its carnatic music fused with western...

[@kavemankarl2588]

@@a324111 Indeed. The definition of fusion is quite broad and nowadays it covers genres that not so long ago would have been deemed world beat, jazz, or even prog, another umbrella term that covers a wide variety of genres.

[@triggertechie]

The band are genius, the violin player looks like he is having an out of body experience. Mohini is killing it. Dave Weckl is totally in the pocket. The guitar is well slick. Lovely tune too.

[@adamisaac4685]

That's because he is having an out-of-body experience. Music is in the "air" it's our job as musicians to pull it out. some times we have to leave our bodies to do this.

[@neildamos8860]

Great to hear Mohini play something with a group that isn't at the ultimate of her capabilities, but where she can just play to perfection; well done all.

[@rehabmd]

What an amazing performance. Dave Weckl is the perfect drummer for this. The other musicians are absolutely amazing

[@jazzbychas]

Abhijith P S Nair, Sandeep Mohan, Mohini Dey, and Dave Weckl: all world class musicians, proving that any kind of music can be made with virtuosity. Weckl is an old master at drums; Mohini Dey is an amazing young lady on base; Nair plays a very versatile violin; and Homan is very good at his electric guitar. I hope more collaborations like this are recorded soon.

Today , I realized the future of jazz is in the most comfortable spot. I can die knowing it will grow exponentially.

[@162534283746]

Don't die. There's still good music to discover down here, and maybe Yanni leading an all star harpistry band is the music of heaven. Don't. Die.

[@drbloozeviews]

What a joyful sound! This band has so much energy. Mohini Dey is my new favorite bass player!

[@Saraswatiband2024]

So good!!! Everytime I hear Mohini Dey she's better than the time before!!! How long can she keep this up??? Infinity, I guess.💐💐💐

[@subixbarbarasson6052]

When I was a kid my older brother (10 years senior) made me listen to thrash metal. ..... Now he sends me links like this. Lol. I love him :)

[@THX-vp9fz]

After putting my focus on Mohini the last days and heard a few sounds of her i like to say that the sound in this session here is the one which comes closest to my taste. The composition of her outraging bassplay is like always challenging but obviously not for her. Shes clearly an exceptional blessed talent and it is a big pleasure to me to listen to her arts. Its also always astonishing to see with which easyness her hands and fingers fly over her instrument. The other guys around her are first class musicians too, otherwise it wouldnt fit. I will look if and when she comes to my country/city to see her live, if possible. Thanks Mohini and her collegues for this wonderful music! :-)

[@kavemankarl2588]

Same here. I had never heard any bass player be they Marcus Miller, Geddy Lee or Victor Wooten "twang" the strings as she did in her solo. It was pure melodic delight to hear those unusual notes roll off her instrument. BTW that was one heck of a fancy bass she was strumming, don't think I ever saw that model before. In fact I'm not even sure if it's a bass, or an oriental instrument serving similar purpose. In other videos of her I have seen she was using a "normal" bass i.e. like a Fender or somesuch.

[@THX-vp9fz]

@@kavemankarl2588 Its a Cort A5 Plus FMMH, nothing extraordinare, but its a great bass though, no doubt. Looks costlier than it is. I would really buy one too but i'm already covered :)

[@kavemankarl2588]

@@THX-vp9fz Thank you for the feedback. When I wrote the comment it had been almost a year since I had last watched the young lady's performance and, well, pushing 60 my memory isn't as reliable as that of the wee lad I once was lol. I watched the video again right after posting yesterday and thought "sh1t that ain't no esoteric bass, nice going Karl you just made a fool of yourself in front of the largest audience in the whole Western world". That shameful episode lasted a good 3 or 4 minutes then I figured someone more versed in these matters than I am would chime in to clear things up. This time I was right, and I thank you again 👍

Beautiful Music! Technically very accomplished and polished, well done! Was a big fan of Jerry Goodman, Jean Luc Ponty and Michael Urbaniak back in the 70s/80s...This violinist absolutely rocks it!

[@tonylamontbillings6607]

Great video and song. The only problem I have is that there was a period in the video where the bass player was not shown. She Absolutely was holding it down. Besides she was easier on the eyes to look at. 😎

[@srv232]

Abhijith has the musical lineage of L. Shankar, L. Subramaniam and L. Vaidhyanathan brothers. Combined with Mohini, Dave, and Sandeep, it is pure joy to see how this classical Carnatic compositon morph itself into a Jazz piece. Great work fusing the two musical genres together with the help of some great musicians. Keep it up. We are listening and enjoying it all.

[@rickfrancismusic]

This is twenty four caret jazz. I couldn’t have imagined this super quality jazz coming out of desi artists couple of years back. From the time I have heard prodigy Monhini Dey, she has upped the game, consistently, she just can’t stop amazing me with her virtuosity and ease with which she moves her fingers on the bass fret.❗

There is an ancient spirit who swoops around the Earth looking for newborns. Rarely, only once in a while, he settles down next to a child and touches its forehead with two fingers. This spirit named Talent does not care about race, gender, religion, social class, wealth or poverty. The child is blessed.
