All that Jazz
The foursome from France is all set to take music lovers
on a trip of their kind of music, says
Smriti Sharma
Going by their looks and outfits one might just mistake them for rock stars, but they are the hip-n-happening jazz musicians who are here to play their kind of jazz music and this one, they promise is going to be rocking. And for the first time, music lovers will get to listen to a fusion of piano and
synthesiser. When it comes to jazz, even this foursome, agrees, Miles Davis is an unbeatable king of jazz. Ask them what’s their definition of jazz and they are quick to add, “attitude, language, tradition, an act of integrating concepts and improvisation.
It’s about breaking the boundaries, no matter what the accompanying
instruments are’.

Pradeep Tewari, winner of the prestigious 4th Annual Photoshare Photo Contest
Parbina Rashid
It was by sheer chance that the assignment to cover an athletic meet for slum children organised by Pustak, a voluntary organisation, fell into Pradeep Tewari’s lap. But the scene he captured had nothing to do with luck or co-incidence. It was years of experience of covering sport events that got him the right shot and the ‘Best of Show’ award at the 4th Annual Photoshare Photo Contest sponsored by the INFO Project at the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
