Speaking of desis in jazz, check out jazz vocalist Sachal Vasandani tonight in Manhattan:

Houston / LaGuardia Pl.), 7:15-8:45pm (he’s on ~7:30pm), $5; Sachal Vasandani, vocals; Jeb Patton, piano; David Wong, bass; Quincy Davis, drumsAfter being named Collegiate Jazz Vocalist of the Year by Downbeat Magazine in 1999, Vasandani moved to New York and, after a year of working on Wall Street, quit his job to begin his career as a singer… Vasandani’s debut solo album is due out later this year.

The latest Black eyed peas song “dont phunk with my heart” starts exactly the same way like the song from a Hindi movie Don – “Yeh mera dil pyaar ka deewana”.
Check it out! And let mutineers know!

Sachal, I read all your reviews thanks for sharing for those who don’t live close and are miles across the West Coast. I applaud you for all the awards. Now my question is, When are you going to Perform here in San Diego? Ever hear of Dave Brubeck, I saw him live here in San Diego, maybe he’ll stop by NYC next year.
Love, Nik Kripalani (cousin of Sach’s)
P.S. Go Chargers! Throttle the Jets back when they lost to Pittsburgh! 🙂
