Check out the full live Album 'Spirit At Play', order now on Bandcamp natarajaband.bandcamp.com/
The album was recorded in full, on stage, with no second takes whatsoever. It is this creative, spontaneous environment that gives the music its power. The night of the concert the audience were simply blown away and everyone knew they had experienced something special. The music seemed completely wild and spontaneous, yet effortless and every note perfectly falling into place. The musicians seemed to be experiencing a moment of pure freedom and passion for what was being discovered. That complete concert became the live album titled 'Spirit At Play' to be released on Geomagnetic Records.
Nataraja's music is based on the Ragas and compositions of North India and these provide a springboard for group improvisation and forging new textures. Expect quick-fire interaction, powerful rhythms, lush soundscapes and beautiful Indian melodies played with passion. Imagine Jimi Hendrix crossed with Ravi Shankar and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, but with a fresh vision to do something new within the fusion landscape.
This is the line up of Nataraja ~
Jack Jennings - Electric Guitar
Andy Edwards - Drums
John Jowitt - Bass Guitar
Richard Charles Boxley - Analog Modular Synthesis
This album launch concert was filmed by Sam West, live multi-track and mixing by Rob Groucutt. Produced by Jack Jennings.

My man. Respect. Serious playing there. You’ve been at it a long time. I’m here in the states and I have played a long time. Could you react to my favorite guitar player of all time? Normally I don’t listen to a ton of reactions but after watching you…I would very much value any opinion or thought you might share. The classic rock blues combination of SRV. He’s my favorite for many reasons but I want to hear what you think. I’m sure you’ve been asked already. It would be Stevie Ray Vaughan live at El Macombo. The song is called Texas flood. John Mayer is a pretty good guitar player as well and he said once he saw Texas flood and SRV he was floored. I must agree. I stood next to his statue in Austin Texas and got a picture last year he would play for anyone anywhere.
