Aakash Mittal Quartet

The Aakash Mittal Quartet plays all original music that is heavily influenced by Jazz, modern grooves, and the music of India. The members of the project use these influences to create music that relates to the modern world of acculturation while retaining a traditional as well as exploratory approach to improvisation and groove. The result is eclectic original music that hints of snake charmers, meditative ragas, and compelling rhythms.

Northern Colorado musician Aakash Mittal has been making a name for himself leading his own jazz quartet, which performs all original music at such venues as Dazzle Restaurant and Lounge , Bliss Café, Vita and the Ft. Collins Jazz Festival. his approach to composition and improvisation, Mittal seeks to create music that relates to his diverse background of both American and East Indian heritage, drawing inspiration as much from straight-ahead jazz and the avant-garde as East Indian music and modern grooves.
