An evening of vibrant Global Jazz Music featuring material from the new album ‘Possession’

This programme is a fast-paced, cinematic journey of material from the group’s debut EP Onwards and material from the forthcoming album Possession.

Asha Parkinson’s wonderful Kalpadruma Ensemble is a filmic global 14-piece studio orchestra bringing together jazz quintet, string quartet, woodwind, voice and the distinctive sound of the qanun playing powerfully melodic, rhythmically sophisticated, often groove-based material. Asha’s vibrant, genrebusting second album, Possession, blurs the boundaries between Jazz, Contemporary Classical, Flamenco, Mediterranean and Arab musics to find its own unique, deeply resonant voice. Subjects range from obsessive love to urban trance to mystical inspiration to devotion and beyond.
