Amit Chatterjee
	Guitarist, composer and vocalist Amit Chatterjee is known for his sensitive yet passionate approach in both his instrumental and vocal artistry as well as bringing a certain global element to his unique compositions. From his extensive background as a guitarist of American and European based musics as well a sitarist in Indian music, and having been deeply educated in both areas, he is able to seamlessly flow in and out of western and eastern approaches, moving toward a sound which is completely new, reflecting the atmosphere of today. After 11 years as the guitarist for jazz-fusion legend Joe Zawinul in his seminal band The Zawinul's Syndicate (as well as being a part of the keyboard master's symphonic recording “Stories of the Danube” and performances of the work with various symphonies), Amit continues his explorations in new territories of music in his ongoing solo projects as well as in collaborative works with different masters of the musical arts.
			Amit's most recent releases of original works include: "Ocean on Fire" - based on the mystic poems of Kabir (a 15th century Indian saint), a much awaited follow-up to the critically acclaimed 1993 release "Songs of Kabir" (featuring master percussionist Glen Velez) and “We Call it Maze,” the first release of the Czech version of his international band, The Amit Chatterjee Alliance. Amongst his other recently completed and current projects are “Dusk,” the latest duo recording with legendary tabla master Badal Roy; Taalisman, the recently launched trance-world/jazz collaboration with virtuoso percussionist Pete Lockett with a new CD also titled “Taalisman,” as well as ongoing musical ventures in a power trio with two renowned masters: bassist Lincoln Goines and drummer Kim Plainfield.
