Jazz : Bangalore Habba December 2, 2007

English Play by Stagesmith Productions.
Humour and nostalgia blend perfectly in Jazz, the latest production by Denzil Smith’s Stagesmith, in which playwright Ramu Ramanathan turns back the clock on the lives of Mumbai’s jazz musicians.
Between the 1940s and 1970s, Mumbai’s film companies, music halls and hotels offered employment opportunities for Anglo-Indian and Goan musicians who were well-versed in Western classical music and, most importantly, in jazz. Naresh Fernandes, the editor of TimeOut, researched the stories and lives of these erstwhile musicians, and his work forms the basis of the story directed by theatre veteran Etienne Coutinho.
