This visit to Kolkata has been a hugely different and in many ways rewarding first trip to India. The sights and sounds of this stunning city are ones of beauty as well as despair. The Panjazz tour itself has had its ups and downs, as to be expected with any venture to a new country but a successful one none the less for the charity. We have fit in a huge amount of recording time with collaborations between south african, indian and UK based musicians ranging through a huge amount of styles and standards. this in itself has been very enjoyable to see and participate in and no doubt the results will be fully worth while. The performing side of the tour has not gone quite as to plan due to the complications of playing in India but the group has done their best to overcome this and get the best out of it as possible and to stay in high spirits, keeping the charity's cause at the top of the agenda, giving Panjazz International's future connection with India a huge boost for the future.
