Mumbai based Suburban Jazz Ensemble was formed in 1995 by bassplayer Colin D'Cruz with the intention of featuring India's lesser known albeit, accomplished jazz virtuosos. Over the years the band featured pianists Tony Pinto, Xavier Fernandes, Bonny Remedios, Richie Marquis, saxophonists Saby Dias, Joe Pereira, Noel Thomas, Trombone players Hannibal Castro, Blasco Monsorate, Trumpet players Frank Dubier, Bosco Monsorate, drummers Lester Godinho, Alan Moraes, Rex Monsorate and just about every accomplished Indian jazz vocalist like Ursula Fernandes, Yvonne Gonsalves, Jeanne Michael and Natasha D'Souza to name a few. The bands repertoire is made up of straightahead jazz standards and switching personnel has always given the band an interesting new sound at every performance. |
