A three-movement piece for soprano saxophone and piano, Interests highlights the instrument’s unique timbre and capabilities. Starting with a stately, canonic first movement entitled “Mass Movement,” we hear an intertwined melody that moves throughout both parts. This is followed by an emotional second movement, “Sunset Reflections On The Window Pane,” that shifts between two main themes, and concludes with a hectic and energetic third movement, “A Philosophical Exchange.” Interests brings both performer and listener to a variety of emotional states.

Mass Movement

A Philosophical Exchange

Sunset Reflections On The Window Pane

Here is the first track made completely on the Phantom Laboratories West mobile unit on this particular trip to the Midwest--I'm posting it from Waukesha (or is it Pewaukee?) Wisconsin.  Did this trip or this particular location influence this track?  

Possibly.  A lot of sitting--driving, eating, more driving, working on music in hotel rooms, more driving, etc., caused me to suffer some leg pain last night while driving...both foot cramps and thigh soreness...and, unfortunately, I'm still feeling it as I type this...  

Do I have restless leg syndrome?  Perhaps.  There are times when I twirl throughout the night when I sleep...but there are also times where I find just the right spot and I wake up in the exact same spot, having never moved an inch.  

Look, I'm not a doctor.  I'm an amateur music producer with more time than talent on his hands.  Don't expect me to self-diagnose diseases or syndromes I might have.  

This track does hold special appeal to me, as a fan of stand-up comedy...and a retired stand-up comedian...in that there are...can I even say snippets?  Chunks (that's a good stand-up word!) of a classic bit of comedy gold are incorporated into this track.  When I came up with the title, I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to sample (though, I didn't know until I started the nuts and bolts, exactly how I would)...and this is the happy result!  

The track is fairly slow for modern house music, coming in at 119bpm--though, back in my day, that wasn't unusual to play house as slow as 114bpm, and there were so many great tracks in the 116-120bpm range.  I had wanted to keep this minimal--and, for a good while, it was--but, Interbay gonna Interbay...suddenly there'd be the occasional dubstep bass, some syncopated cymbals took the drums out of Kick-Snare simplicity, and this is, I believe, the first chance I've had to put some soprano sax in an Interbay track (and then what did I do?  I put some dynamic filters on it.  Ohhhhh, Interbay.)

I dig it.  I think you will too!  Give it a listen...a like, repost it, share it, comment on it, add it to a playlist...and follow along.  Even traveling 2/3rds of the way across the North American continent can't keep me from posting brand new tracks EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far...for over 13 months now!)...and following this page is the best way to keep up with it all!

When time has come - soprano saxophone solo

Vṛṣṭi (वृष्टि, pronounced vru-shtee) is a Sanskrit word for rain, a cleansing and sacred force in Indian culture. From its first notes, the piece evokes the gentle stillness of a sky about to open — guitar harmonies shimmer like the first drops, and the bansuri enters with a breath of anticipation. As tabla rhythms emerge, the soundscape gathers momentum, mirroring the way clouds build and release their energy. The soprano saxophone soars into dialogue with the bansuri, weaving through the bass’s steady undercurrent, until the ensemble converges in a downpour that cleanses, uplifts, and transforms.

GRAMMY®-nominated artist Noshir Mody has brought together an extraordinary ensemble to breathe life into Vṛṣṭi. Matt Geraghty (2× Latin GRAMMY® nominee, bass) is a boundary-pushing producer and composer whose work documents and uplifts diverse musical traditions. Alongside him is tabla virtuoso Dibyarka Chatterjee, son of the esteemed global tabla master and founder of Chhandayan, Pandit Samir Chatterjee of the Farrukhabad gharana, carrying forward one of India’s most respected tabla lineages.

Completing the ensemble are two equally distinctive voices. Rasika Shekar, an internationally acclaimed flautist, vocalist, and composer, has performed with icons such as John McLaughlin, AR Rahman, and Shankar Mahadevan, and was featured on the GRAMMY®-winning album Divine Tides. Arun Luthra, one of New York’s premier saxophonists, is the creator of the groundbreaking Konnakol Jazz Project, blending post-bop jazz with the rhythmic language of Indian classical music and performing his work on stages worldwide.

In essence, Vṛṣṭi goes beyond its literal meaning, encapsulating the interconnectedness of nature, the divine, and human experience. The music flows as rain does — stillness giving way to movement, dialogue to release — leaving the listener with a sense of reflection, renewal, and awakening.

Noshir Mody is a stimulating and creative fusion guitarist displaying a beautiful tone, versatility, and inventive ideas on his picturesque originals. Throughout his career, he has recorded consistently rewarding and thought-provoking sets of original music. Mody recently released his latest set of picturesque and atmospheric jazz, A Burgeoning Consciousness where six of Mody’s originals are performed by a superior sextet comprised of the leader’s guitar, alto and tenor-saxophonist Mike Mullan, trumpeter Benjamin Hankle, pianist Campbell Charshee, bassist John Lenis and drummer Yutaka Uchida.

Throughout A Burgeoning Consciousness, Noshir Mody displays his own highly individual sound on the guitar along with a fresh imagination that reflects his wide musical experiences. Born and raised in Bombay, India, he was self-taught on guitar. Mody has stated that his early inspirations included Indian classical music, Al DiMeola's Elegant Gypsy, music from Bollywood, and rock along with the modern jazz guitar masters.

After moving to New York in 1995, Noshir Mody dedicated himself to creative music, regularly leading his own trio in clubs. His original conception to playing music was well showcased in his groups The EthniFusion Rock Ensemble and The EthniFusion Jazz Ensemble. Mody’s impressionistic playing and colorful originals were documented in his solo guitar recording In This World With You, his trio set Union Of Hearts and by his quintet on Stories From The Years Of Living Passionately.

Now, with the release of A Burgeoning Consciousness, Noshir Mody has taken another giant step forward with arguably his finest recording to date.

“A top-notch jazz and fusion guitarist, Noshir Mody composes picturesque originals that are impossible to classify as anything but high-quality modern jazz…"
Scott Yanow, Author of 11 books including The Great Jazz Guitarists, The Jazz Singers, Jazz On Film and Jazz On Record 1917-76

“…This is surely the direction jazz is headed for in the 21st Century & beyond… waves of passion will invade your thoughts and bring you the peace that only jazz can bring…"
Dick Metcalf, Improvijazzation Nation Magazine

“…High art, as far as I’m concerned, one of the year’s stand-out cuts so far, within a CD that doesn’t brazenly demand re-listening but instead seduces. You’ll be tossing it into the player again and again without even realizing it."
Mark S. Tucker, Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange

“…A piece such as “The Next Chapter" flows like a stream for nine minutes, while on the sixteen minute “India" Mody has his guitar chords chime like bells and Uchida’s cymbals sashay the groove along like a spring breeze. A delicate ride cymbal taps along during “A Pearl Discovers the Oyster" and Mody’s solo beams across like a rainbow at sunset, just before the panoramic “To Be In Your Thoughts" closes this journey with optimistic notes of joy. As fresh and cleansing as a summer rain!"
George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly

“…this group gets to stretch out both individually and collectively in spirited and spiritual fashion."
Scott Albin, JazzTimes

“…The album is fine example of impressionism with a distinctive style and an intriguing improvisational approach. The compositions and the musicianship, particularly Mody and Staaf, is first rate and as a whole Stories from The Years of Living Passionately is involving and engaging."
Karl Ackermann, All About Jazz

“Self-taught Bombay guitarist Noshir Mody has assembled a magnificent array of musicians to record a deeply personal, sonically rich and beautifully produced album…"
Phil Jackson, Acid Dragon Magazine
