Brishti'r Gaan by Cusp Quartet

Brishti’r Gaan is a celebration of Bengali folk songs which have been lovingly and respectfully transcribed, and then re-worked for a jazz quartet. The songs on this album have been taken from the recently published book of the same name, presenting lyrics and scores as well as brief introductions to the people who created this music. Just as jazz musicians of the past celebrated the ‘Great American Song Book’, we hope to do the same for the ancient and undiscovered music of the Bengali region.
