Drawing inspiration from legendary composers like Gershwin and Rachmaninoff, 'Rhapsody in राग जोग (Raag Jog)' weaves a rich tapestry of melodies and rhythms, celebrating the fusion of diverse musical influences.
Commissioned by Anjan Shah,'Rhapsody in राग जोग (Raag Jog)' is a 22-minute original work by Drew Zaremba that is rhapsodic in form. This premiere performance features Anjan on bansuri flute/tenor saxophone, Jonathan Epley on guitar, Nabin Shrestha on tabla, Amy Shook on bass and the Chicago Studio Orchestra. The composition brings together 4 major ideas: improvisation, a fusion of western & eastern music, diversity & inclusion, and a personal journey of cultural acceptance through music. It is a fusion of Indian classical, Western classical, and jazz influences, delivering a one-of-a-kind, spellbinding journey.
'Rhapsody in राग जोग (Raag Jog)' was one of the most interesting and rewarding videos Treehouse Dreams Films has had the pleasure of producing. These special musicians and engineers performed at the highest level musically and technically. "The collaboration with the players elevated the entire production for me, and my own professional experience as a musician played a big role in how I approached the shooting and editing of the performance" - Les Owen
The session was recorded at Chicago Recording Company May 17,18 and Mix Kitchen on May 19, 2023.
