Funky Jog

Glow of Benares is a collaborative studio album released on November 24, 2017, under the Dacapo label. The project merges North Indian classical music with Western jazz and orchestral arrangements. The album features violinist Kala Ramnath, tabla player Abhijit Banerjee, saxophonist Jakob Buchanan, the Aarhus Jazz Orchestra, the Randers Kammerorkester, and clarinetist Lars Møller as primary contributors. The release format includes digital media distribution.

The third track, Funky Jog, spans 11 minutes and 34 seconds. The composition blends improvisational jazz structures with elements of the jog raga, a traditional Hindustani raga often associated with rhythmic vitality and late-night performances. Ramnath leads with violin passages rooted in Indian classical phrasing, while Banerjee provides percussive accompaniment on the tabla. Buchanan and Møller contribute jazz-inflected wind sections, with the Aarhus Jazz Orchestra and Randers Kammerorkester delivering layered harmonic and rhythmic support. The track exemplifies the album’s cross-genre experimentation by integrating extended solo segments and orchestral interludes.
