Midnight Raga

JOY!Guru is a collaborative studio album released on November 30, 2018, in digital media format. The project features sitarist Debashish Bhattacharya, saxophonist Wojciech Traczyk, and percussionist Hubert Zemler. The album merges elements of Indian classical music with contemporary improvisation and jazz influences.

The third track, Midnight Raga, spans 14 minutes and 5 seconds. The composition showcases Bhattacharya’s slide guitar adaptations of raga structures alongside Traczyk’s saxophone phrasing and Zemler’s textural percussion. The piece emphasizes slow, meditative development with layered rhythmic and melodic interactions. No label information is explicitly documented for this release.

The album’s title reflects a fusion of joyful spontaneity (JOY!) and spiritual guidance (Guru), though specific thematic or conceptual details remain undocumented. The recording context, production team, and additional session musicians (if any) are not publicly confirmed. The work stands as a cross-cultural exploration between Hindustani classical traditions and European avant-garde jazz practices.
