057 - In Conversation with Shez Raja - Turning Indo-Jazz on its Head

In today’s podcast we're catching up with a star of the 2017 London Bass Guitar Show, Shez Raja.

With two solo albums already to his name, and another due for release next year, Shez Raja is without doubt a unique creative talent. Having earned a loyal live following in the UK, his bass-led collective draws on a hybrid approach that blends the fusion sounds of Return to Forever with a bass style that draws on both Marcus Miller and Stanley Clarke. With his latest release, Gurutopia, gaining rave reviews in the press, and with a new album pending, Shez has already assigned himself a new set of challenges to overcome for the second half of 2017. It’s time to discover if there’s a magic formula behind his unique brand of Indo-funk fusion.
