Outcast Vocals

I had thought of jamming some random/popular/rare songs with a bunch of young creative musicians for Rosebowl channel!! I hooked in Suchith and Sidharth who are from the popular band 'Udaan' and an excellent Jazz pianist, Vineet. Bass guitarist of 'Avial', Benny accompanied the team on his guitar and he really must have hated us!!... cos we sort of kept him up all night during the final practice session :) Nevertheless, things went awesome and it took me a while to get the videos and upload them... *TAN TA DAAAAAAN*

Also coming up with name for the show was a huge fun process. We initially came up with Coconut Machans, tuner wardrobe, kappa 'n meen curry, etc.. but finally after the shoot was done, we realized that it didn't turn out to be that funky and was more of classy and suttle numbers, hence the name, 'Outcast Vocals'


This track is Parayan maranna paribhavangal by Pt. Ramesh Narayan and lyrics by Rafeeq sir. Vineet George Panikker has done the backing of this unplugged version.





This one is a very popular ghazal of Hariharanji , Jhoom Le. Backed by Vineet and Benny chettan.





This one is a collage of my two very favourite songs: Ishq ada hai and Thamara noolinal. It was just an attempt !!

Piano sessions with Stephen for Rosebowl

I guess his first unplugged interview :D

In conversation with U. Rajesh

The man is so simple! There was this part where he was speaking about playing Jazz on the mandolin and I asked him to play. He was hesitant cos he said he couldn't do it without backing but on my request he actually played a little bit of jazz..
