The Teak Project is a cross cultural collaboration - three of Britain’s finest young improvisers who have come together simply to make their own music. Though they marry Indian music and jazz, their aim is not to break new ground, but rather express their wealth of musical and social experiences. It is not 'jazz' or 'Hindustani classical', it is a unique piece of joinery – classic, seamless – powered by solid and individual vocabularies.
