Strings of Soul, April 2 at 7pm

Carol’s Jazz Night x CitySpace Presents

This event has been rescheduled from October 25th, 2026 to April 2nd, 2027

Strings of Soul is an innovative ensemble that brings together the rich traditions of Indian classical music with contemporary jazz improvisation and global rhythms.

The trio features:

Kunal Gunjal (Santoor), GLOBAL MUSIC AWARD winning artiste and featured on Oscar winning Film scores.  Disciple of the world renowned Santoor Legend Late. Pt. Shivkumar Sharma.     

Steve Hunt (Piano), worked with several renowned jazz artists such as Billy Cobham, Stanley Clarke, Angela Bofill, Tom Brown, and Allan Holdsworth.           

Amit Kavthekar (Tabla ), worked with notable Indian classical musicians like Ustad Amjad Ali Khan and Jazz and Classical artists like Sharon Isbin and Al Di Meola

The Santoor—a rare, expressive hammered dulcimer from India—serves as the melodic centerpiece of the ensemble, engaging in dynamic conversation with piano, tabla, and percussion. 

Rather than presenting a traditional world music program, Strings of Soul creates an original musical language where jazz harmony, spontaneous improvisation, intricate rhythmic interplay, and Indian melodic traditions meet naturally.
