Press Reviews ….
'In keeping with the festive week, Mr. Banerjee announced that the opening piece, Desh, would be a festive work, not the usual serious piece with which typical Indian Classical concerts begin, in the Hindustani tradition. Festive, not "light". It was lyric, soulful, twenty-five minute presentation, with no break. Match that to any Western Classical Symphony ! ....Jayanta Banerjee is certainly a master of his difficult intrument --- a bamboo flute....He made this a memorable evening....' …William Allin Storrer in Classical New Jersey
'Flautist Jayanta Bandyopadhyay played an exhilarating gat in Jaijayanti with tabalia Mallar Ghosh complementing him. A lilting dhun in Raga Purab left a lasting impression..' …The Telegraph, Kolkata
'Breaking down musical barriers…' …Jim Beckerman in Here and Now : NJ Arts for The Sunday Record
'Banerjee presented two ragas 'Yeman' and 'Des' on his flute. The tone of his flute was well defined, sharp and pleasing. His recital had a relaxed 'Chaindari'...' 'Flutist enthralls audience....The caressing resonant aalap in raga Deepawali on the flute created an atmosphere of pathos in its ascending notes and that of reassurance in its descending ones when Jayanta Banerjee sat down to give his solo performance...' …The Sun Times 'Jayanta put up a great show..... It was musically pure nectar...' …Indian Express, Bhuvaneswar 'Jayanta Banerjee mesmerized the packed auditorium with raga Marwa. All along the pathetic feeling in this Aalap, Jod and two compositions in Madhyalaya Roopak and Drut Trital spelt magic...' 'Jayanta Banerjee gave a commendable performance....' 'Excellent rendition of raga Yaman. His 'meends' (deep glides of notes) remind one of Dhrupad-Ang aalap on the Veena. The composition in Jhaptal was brilliantly woven... The concluding Pilu was the romantic finale...' 'New Jersey based software consultant Jayanta Banerjee also plays flute with equal ease. Having performed in Delhi, Bhuvaneshwar and Mumbai, he was recently on home ground for .. solo concert. He has also performed in the fusion concerts with popular saxophonist David Liebman and is a regular performer in the United States...' …The Times of India, Kolkata |
