CHARU SURI is a highly regarded pianist and composer who treads fearlessly between genres, blending several styles and fusing Indian ragas with more traditional jazz. Born in South India, she was a piano prodigy performing in various concert halls at an early age. Charu's most recent album, RAGS & RAGAS, was recorded with John Patitucci on the double bass, Steve Gadd and Joe Lastie on the drums, and debuted recently at #3 on the iTunes jazz charts, and reached #2 in Kenya. Her previous albums charted #1 in India in both the jazz and overall albums charts. With mood-invoking ragas (to be played according to the time of day) for many of her compositions, she weaves techniques and sounds from several places including India, Europe, and Africa.
SIMON MOGUL is a 24-year-old Tenor Saxophonist originally from Miami (FL), currently based in New York City. Simon's music fuses a respect and understanding of jazz's past (channeling saxophonists such as the great John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins) with modern genres, such as Hip Hop and R&B. Simon completed his first international tour in the Summer of 2022, touring South Africa, and playing sets of almost all original music. Simon leads an award-winning quintet that was selected as a semifinalist in two of the most renowned jazz competitions in the world for the summer of 2023, the Bucharest International Jazz Competition and the 7 Virtual Jazz Club.
