If you are a lover of jazz music in Mumbai, then this weekend is going to be busy because the National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA), is hosting their International Jazz Festival 2022 from November 25 – 27 with performances by The Mingus Big Band, Jamaican jazz legend Monty Alexander and the Thilo Wolf Jazz Quartet with Johanna Iser. With tunes and melodies from all over the world, it promises to be an experience that may make you fall in love with jazz all over again.
So, it is no surprise when Thilo Wolf and Monty Alexander, who have several accolades to their name, tell us that they are as excited as can be to perform in Mumbai for the first time ever. Having performed around the world for over many decades between them, somehow the power of the city seems to have eluded them but there’s always a first time. Wolf explains, “Everybody in the band is really excited and looking forward to perform at the festival. While I have been to the city as a tourist, I have never performed in Mumbai.”
