Was Ilayaraja inspired by Jazz?
Have you ever sipped a cup of capacino in a full-fledged bar. Uhuh. Thats sounds just like me :)
Saturday Night. Java City (a bar near brigade road where they play live jazz music)
I saw some artisans and music lovers enjoy the live Jazz.
Most of the girls there were boozing and fagging.
I watched with silence. Observed everyone around me. And enjoyed my cup of coffee.
Stranger in the night. Beethoven. Jazz. Jazz.. and more Jazz.
The guitar and piano was so Ilayaraja's music. I wonder if his music was "inspired" by Jazz of the 70's.
Here is the interesting proof: www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8Yi6ITZtHg
The first song is so much like Mouna Ragam Title track, dont you think?

Great. I die for his music. I may have heard each of his song more that 10000 times. He is a genious. Nice to see or blog about him. I think he is the only one music director in India whose music wont be bored anytime. What do you say?..and advanced welcome to my blog..
What quite good topic
Howdy!
Well, Raaja sir's music will always have the basic norms of Jazz like call & response, poly-pulse rhythm texture with backbeats, bass run, syncopation, improvisation & et al.,
Would like to see more blog about His music & Jazz in your insight...!
Have a good one!
