Singing Bass
A 8 track crossover jazz album (43m 32s) — released August 22nd 2025 on Drum The Bass
This album features bass as a melodic instrument, sometimes with loopers, effects, minimal layering, occasional tabla and bansuri (Indian flutes). It is the result of self-exploration to achieve a dreamy escape from the realities of today's world, to a space of ... hope?

Take a bow Mr Shri :) I just heard your album, the first time (I know I’m gonna listen to it several times) and it is sublime. Each track is so evocative, brought up images in my mind and tugged at my emotions too. - Vandana Kataria Film director, Mumbai
Finally got to hear your album..absolutely fantastic.. Bowing the bass like that.. amazing.. And your sound is just great.. - Arild Andersen ECM artist
I played the solo album tracks again in the calm of early January, and it sounds terrific. - David Jones SERIOUS
Chapter and verse the best thing I’ve ever heard by you. It’s magnificent, Shri. I could mention the tunefulness of it all; the moving continuous joined-upness of the rhythm across all 8 tracks; the precision and scarcity of indulgence; the awareness of the works of others without being any thing other than unique; and above all a joy to listen to and go straight back to the beginning like a loop that you don’t want to end. In fact it is a loop you can stay on as long as you wish. Cosmic in that sense. I totally hear the atonement for things we’ve all done, and better still your own therapeutic journey and of healing. Bloody well done. I think you’ve produced a masterpiece. - Chris Newstead Watford Jazz Festival
