Jarry Singla (* around 1975) is a German-Indian jazz musician ( piano , composition).

Live and act

Singla studied in the 1990s at the Hochschule für Musik Köln as well as at the New Yorker Mannes College of Music and at the Banff Center for the Arts with John Taylor , Richie Beirach and Marc Johnson . With his quartet "Blumenbein" he released three albums. Staying for several years in Mexico City and New York led to encounters with musicians from all over the world and a great openness to the most diverse musical cultures: Among other things, he worked with Borderland , the formation of the Ukrainian singer Mariana Sadovska , and with Lagash , the chamber music quartet of the Iraqi one Composer Saad Thamir, where it comes to syntheses from Arabic and Western music.

In his trio Eastern Flowers , Singla has been working since 2009 together with the German-Indian bassist Christian Ramond and the South Indian percussionist Ramesh Shotham at the interface between European jazz and Indian music. In 2013 Singla went to Mumbai on a grant for six months to search for musical clues and meet musicians. The result was the Mumbai Project , in which the Trio Eastern Flowers has been expanded to include three virtuosos of North Indian classical music since 2014 . This creates music in the spectrum “between breakneck rhythmic speed and contemplative immersion in sound”. In autumn 2017 this sextet performed together with the hr big band .

Since 2013 he has also been part of the WEI3 trio with the Polish double bass player Maciej Garbowski and the French drummer Peter Orins . There is also the Shatabdi duo with saxophonist Johannes Lemke . He is also part of Markus Stockhausen's Ensemble Eternal Voyage ( Eternal Voyage / Live , 2018).
