Somesh Putcha
About
Ever Playful is Somesh Putcha’s debut album composed for the ABC Jazz for the ABC Classic and Jazz Composer Commission 2024. The album draws from the storytelling of his father’s Hindu background an idea from the myth of Amrutamu that to experience positive growth and wisdom requires one to experience equal strife and hardship. Each song is linked to a lesson and the hardships that taught it.Somesh is a drummer and has been inspired by the adventurous and spiritual nature of artists such as John Coltrane, Mark Guiliana, and his mentor Colin Stranahan. He draws from further afield listening to artists like Kendrick Lamar, Noname, and David Bowie. He strives to continue the work of these luminaries and create personal and transformative music. Featuring Oscar Peterson on Double Bass, Bernice Tesara on Trumpet and Michael J Brady on Guitar.
