JACQUES BAILHE - Shiva in flagrante
Mix years touring on bass with Big Lost, a “Folk-Baroque-Rock” band, producing hundreds of tracks for award wining short films and commercials, a drum solo behind a fire-breathing stripper in a roller rink in Bangkok, sitar lessons in India and Nepal, and chanting prayers as a Buddhist monk, and you get Shiva in flagrante (The Hindu god Shiva in flames of passion).
Building a style he describes as “reckless abandon,” Bailhé explores ideas through music and narrative dance. The scenario for Shiva in flagrante tells the tale of a Harley-
Davidson-riding Shiva falling in love, mating with the goddess Parvati, and the birth of their child in the final track titled “The Facts of Creation.” “That story had to be told in Jazz,” says Bailhé.
A distinctive new voice in instrumental music, Jacques Bailhé unleashes fiery passion and spellbinding narrative that stuns audiences with rhythm and melody woven with sophisticated harmony and counterpoint.
