Delhi: As a prelude
to the upcoming Jaipur Jazz and Blues Music Festival in October 2019,
Seher India organized a jazz evening with Canadian Vintage jazz ensemble
Company B yesterday evening at The Lodhi. It was the famous quartet's
first performance in India with the harmonizing female vocal trio adding
to the incredible instrumentals. The concert was organised in association
with the High Commission of Canada, Air Canada and British Columbia.
This will be the biggest Jazz Festival to be organised in India. The aim
of the festival is to bring the world of Jazz and blues closer to Indian
audiences and to take this rare art form to the masses. This eclectic
concert provided a glimpse of the talent one can expect at the upcoming
festival.
Mr. Sanjeev Bhargava, Founder Director, Seher
India, said, "We are delighted to introduce the Jaipur
Jazz and Blues Festival in India. With this new festival our aim is to
introduce the world of jazz and blues to music lovers. This is our first
sneak preview of the upcoming festival and we appreciate the efforts of
UNESCO and Rajasthan Tourism for helping us to put this festival together"
The Jaipur Jazz and Blues Music Festival 2019 will be organized by Seher,
UNESCO and Rajasthan Tourism in October 2019.

in 1994 by Sanjeev Bhargava, SEHER literally means 'breaking of the dawn'.
Since its inception, Seher has been synonymous with thoughtful and imaginative
initiatives in the sphere of painting, sculpture, theatre, dance, music,

culture to large number of people, not just to a small cultural elite.

organizations in the area of the performing and visual arts - both for
the diversity of performances as well as for the unusual manner in which
each one has been conceived. Its events have been repeatedly described
as historic, innovative and radically different.
These have included live performances amid ancient monuments as well as
in public parks. Many have been done for the first time ever in India
and have attracted thousands of people. Apart from these, some of the
major initiatives by SEHER are 'India Now' campaign in London at the Trafalgar
Square and Regent street, 'Ananya'- Classical Dance Festival, 'Bhakti
Utsav', 'Delhi Jazz Festival', 'South Asian Bands Festival', 'SAARC Artists'
