The five rivers of Wiltshire met the five rivers of the Punjab at Salisbury Festival yesterday and the confluence produced a flood of great music. Andy Sheppard (tenor and soprano sax) and Kuljit Bhamra (tabla and percussion) bathed the audience in a wonderfully exciting blend of Western jazz and Indian rhythms which brought back, for me at least, memories of the Joe Harriott/John Mayer Indo-Jazz Fusion albums of the 1960's. Using a blend of cyclic breathing and computer playback, Andy gave his work a new depth which was echoed in the superb playing of Kuljit. Certainly not a combination to miss if they come your way. My photos are my Salisbury Festival gallery.
