2003 saw the release of an album that had critics stunned with excitement the world over, the album was ‘SauRang Orchestra’, the artist is Surinder Sandhu. Recorded in three continents over a 12 month period, the young Indian Sarangi Maestro caused quite a stir as many legendry musical figures fell over themselves to join him on the record. SauRang Orchestra features a large ensemble of incredible soloists including Guitar Legend Steve Vai, Award winning British Saxophonist Andy Sheppard, George Brooks, Roland Chadwick and many others, alongside The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Surinder returned with this album, which featured his touring band, in a stripped down ensemble format. Fiery Indian influenced Jazz, thats so tasty you could eat it! The same critical acclaim came from the year’s tour, leaving audiences and critics breathless in a frenzy of high octane India0n influenced Jazz.
