The Moore, Modarelli, Rayatt Trio has crafted a breathtaking sound that flawlessly blends jazz with the rich and vibrant tones of Indian music. Interestingly, the trio was born out of the Covid lockdown, when they were tasked with recording electrifying live-streamed performances which left audiences completely awe-struck.
Their repertoire consists primarily of original compositions that fuse together the soulful rhythms of Indian music with the improvisational spirit of jazz, infusing hints of other world music to create a sound that is entirely their own.
The masterminds behind this ground-breaking collaboration, Olivia and Giuliano, first met at Leeds College of Music, where they were introduced to the enchanting melodies of Indian music. Today, they are both highly acclaimed performers both nationally and internationally, with Giuliano even heading up the award-winning fusion group, Kefaya.
The Trio also features the incredible Gurdain Rayatt, a prominent figure on the UK Indian music scene and hailing from a family of renowned classical Hindustani musicians. He has performed alongside the likes of Kala Ramnath and Soumik Datta on stages all over the world, having studied in India alongside his talented bandmates.
If you’re a fan of jazz or Indian music, or simply appreciate creative and innovative musical styles, then the Moore, Modarelli, Rayatt Trio is definitely a group you won’t want to miss!
