Sitar Meets Contemporary Jazz

Pulsar Trio – Zoo of Songs (t3Records, 2018)

Zoo of Songs features innovative contemporary jazz instrumental pieces performed with piano and keyboards, sitar and percussion. The unconventional use of the sitar gives the music an exotic element.

Although most of the album is uptempo, Zoo of Songs also features dreamy pieces with mesmerizing acoustic sounds enhanced by reverb and brushed drums.

The trio includes Beate Wein on piano and keyboards; Matyas Wolter on sitar and surbahar; and Aaron Christ on drums and percussion.
