Salim Nair

Born: October 9, 1964

Born in southern India, and started playing flute a bit late...Never put it down for more than 20 years... I play an Indian bamboo flute (Bansuri), and preserves a very distinctive Indian Style.

However, I did not want to lose the free, improvisational nature of Indian classical music either. So, jazz become a natural fit. In July 2005, I joined with Joe Gribbin (piano), Bill Marconi (perscussion) and Jeff Davis (Bass) to form Bamboo Jazz Quartet

Tumi Árnason's latest release is Hlýnun (2021), a piece that addresses our current existential threat, the climate crisis, through free jazz and experimental improvisation
