Tom Bancroft: "in Common"
This new project by Tom Bancroft starts with the bodhran and the tabla and a drone, adds Indian Classical Violin and improvising jazz guitar, and continues adding layers and voices from different traditions, in a creative new project that focuses on the common ground between Scottish music, jazz, Indian music and electronica.
Strip away the surface features and jazz, electronica, Scottish traditional music and Indian classical music all share: drone, groove & rhythm, collective and individual improvisation, melodies and scales / ragas, vocal rhythmic patterns
