SHIFT is a contemporary jazz project led by pianist and composer Abhin Iype. Their sound blends shifting harmonies, singable melodies, and a variety of grooves and soundscapes, creating a canvas for storytelling through improvisation.

Although rooted in the jazz tradition, their personal approach to combining their influences through composed passages as well as both structured and free improvisation brings a fresh perspective or a 'shift' in what the genre can be.

The repertoire includes a collections original compositions written and arranged by Abhin Iype for his upcoming album, inspired by his life experiences engaging with different musical cultures. Through this music, Shift aims to fuse various idioms into something one might be reluctant to call jazz, yet are tied together by the familiar sound of an acoustic jazz ensemble.

Dive into the rich world of vocal ensemble music in this interactive workshop designed for singers – rookie and above. Across 10 sessions, the focus shifts strongly toward ensemble performance training, combining vocal technique, body awareness, and group expression. While we briefly explore the evolution of choral and ensemble singing—from early forms to contemporary harmony—the core of the workshop lies in building cohesion, responsiveness, and artistic sensitivity within a group setting.

Participants will engage deeply with vocal and physical techniques, while also understanding the psychological factors that influence singing—from confidence and inhibition to presence and connection. Harmony will be explored through creative, hands-on methods, including colour-based learning, listening exercises, and collaborative activities that make complex ideas intuitive and fun.

The workshop will culminate in a live performance at The Blue Room, featuring a genre-diverse repertoire including full ensemble pieces, smaller group works, and solos, allowing each participant to explore both individual and collective expression.

Workshop Details:
• 10 sessions + final performance
• Starts 2nd May until 4th July
• Performance on 5th July at The Blue Room
• Time: 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM every Saturday
• Limited to 20 participants
• Fees: INR 10,000 per head

Let your voice be part of something bigger.

Purple Mints brings an evening of rich harmonies and timeless swing to The Blue Room.

This set travels across eras of vocal jazz — from 1940s barbershop-esque harmonies and close-knit swing arrangements, to beloved jazz standards, and into contemporary jazz reimaginings of classic tunes. Expect lush vocal blends, playful improvisation, and modern textures woven into songs that have stood the test of time.

As March 8th also marks International Women’s Day, this performance carries a gentle dedication: a tribute to the women and q***r role models in our lives who have shaped us, inspired us, and continue to lead with courage and creativity.

Join Purple Mints for a night of warmth, groove, and harmony — a celebration of music, community, and the voices that matter most. 💜✨

Kayaka ('work') is an ensemble that came together in 2024 to musically reimagine 12th-century Indian poetry, and bring it into a contemporary frame.

Led by Bruce Lee Mani, front man of acclaimed Bangalore band Thermal And A Quarter (TAAQ), and Pallavi MD, one of the foremost exponents of Sugama Sangeetha, Bhavageethe, Vachana Poetry and Hindustani Classical vocal in the city; Kayaka seamlessly blends ancient yet progressive poetry with modern progressive yet accessible music. Expect tight arrangements and freeform improvisations; storytelling compositions; hard-hitting, socially-relevant lyrics and a captivating live performance.

The heart of this music is the same — a pithy, working-class perspective on life, inequality, brotherhood, social justice and the dignity of labour; placed within contemporary musical arrangements. It is worth noting how these poems continue to resonate so strongly with modern reality.

Kayaka will present all of their current repertoire, with poetry from Vachana rock stars like Akkamahevi and Basavanna as well as the lesser-known Sule Sankavva, Kalavve, and others.
