Kalpadruma
Asha Parkinson's vibrant, genre-busting second album is a cinematic exploration of states of
possession, blending jazz, contemporary classical, flamenco, Mediterranean, and Arab music.
Tracks combine the intensity of a symphony with the concision of a pop single, addressing
themes from obsessive love to mystical inspiration.
The album features her Kalpadruma ensemble, a 14-piece mini orchestra combining jazz
quintet, string quartet, woodwind, voice, and the distinctive qanun, showcasing melodic,
rhythmically sophisticated, and sometimes groove-based material with Asha's inspired saxophone
playing.
