**09.10. – Happy Birthday !!! Noshir Mody is a stimulating and creative fusion guitarist
displaying a beautiful tone, versatility, and inventive ideas on his picturesque
originals. Throughout his career, he has recorded and performed consistently rewarding
and thought-provoking sets of original music. **

Mody recently released his latest set of picturesque and atmospheric jazz, A Burgeoning
Consciousness where six of Mody’s originals are performed by a superior sextet comprised
of the leader’s guitar, alto and tenor-saxophonist Mike Mullan, trumpeter Benjamin
Hankle, pianist Campbell Charshee, bassist John Lenis and drummer Yutaka Uchida.

Throughout A Burgeoning Consciousness, Noshir Mody displays his own highly individual
sound on the guitar along with a fresh imagination that reflects his wide musical
experiences. Born and raised in Bombay, India, he was self-taught on guitar. Mody
has stated that his early inspirations included Indian classical music, Al DiMeola’s
Elegant Gypsy, music from Bollywood, and rock along with the modern jazz guitar 
masters.

After moving to New York in 1995, Noshir Mody dedicated himself to creative music,
regularly leading his own trio in clubs. His original conception to playing music
was well showcased in his groups The EthniFusion Rock Ensemble and The EthniFusion
Jazz Ensemble. Mody’s impressionistic playing and colorful originals were documented
in his solo guitar recording In This World With You, his trio set Union Of Hearts
and by his quintet on Stories From The Years Of Living Passionately.

Now, with the release of A Burgeoning Consciousness, Noshir Mody has taken another
giant step forward with arguably his finest recording to date.
