Aditya Balani Group is a Boston based World-Jazz ensemble which brings together talented musicians from countries across the globe, like India, Spain, Serbia and Chile and US. Aiming for true artistic expression and drawing from their ethnic roots each musician adds a unique colour to their sound which is an exciting blend of the spontaneity and harmonic interplay of Jazz with the sheer intensity of melodies and rhythms influenced by Indian Classical/Folk music, and various other musical traditions of the world. The band is back in the US after their second tour of the Indian sub-continent in early January 2010, featuring Aaron Bahr on trumpet, Will Cafaro on bass, Tarun Balani on drums , Sharik Hasan on piano, and Aditya Balani on fretless/fretted guitars.

"Guitarist/Composer Aditya Balani marks new territory with his musical aspirations. From 'Answers' (a dreamy track about life's haunting why's) to 'Prarthna'(a prayer for peace pressed in splendid jazz guitar lines), his compositions are more of subconscious imprints than disciplined exercises in songwriting." -Rolling Stone India

"Their model is perhaps a pointer to the future — young, passionate jazz men who blend several influences and make jazz accessible to this generation." -Asian Age

"A mix of jazz, Indian classical and folk music...Aditya Balani's music brings to the table a very colorful and original sound."                  -DNA Mumbai

"An astonishingly good blend of world music and contemporary jazz." -Hindustan Times
