An award-winning visionary who considers every facet of creativity, Mosby has scored his music for symphonies, authored four books on guitar technique, and is integral to the advancement of the Imrat Guitar. Mosby is also the only guitarist to become a member of the famed Imdhad Khani Gharana of sitar musicians, India's Royal family of music.
Open Waters is Todd's fifth album. Once again, this recording finds Todd embarking on a creative journey navigating through elements of Jazz, New Age, Folk, and Indian music. This CD received a 2019 ZMR Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album. Todd's most recent CD, Aerial Views, was released in August 2020.
The Mosby New Horizons Group tours as a 4 to 6-piece band. Additional musicians may be requested by presenting organizations that have larger venues.
Concerts include seductive original compositions, toe-tapping tunes, and the occasional song from classic singer/songwriters such as Joni Mitchel, James Taylor, and Neil Young. At the evening’s end, Mosby’s moving and unique musical vision leave the audience inspired and fulfilled.
Grammy-nominated/winning performers are featured within this award-winning ensemble delivering performances that dazzle and “wow” audiences.
Partial Concert Review: Fenix August 2016, San Rafael, Ca.
"The musicianship of this all-star group was off the charts...The songs ranged from more laid-back melodies to up-tempo grooves with stellar solos from Todd and Premik." - Michael Diamond - Music Media & Focus
Jazz India performs familiar music with virtuoso flair, highlighting the symbiotic relationships in structure and form between Raga, Jazz, and even American folk and Medieval music. With the Imrat Guitar as an East-West bridge platform, a solid base in the musical traditions, and unending devotion to musicianship of the highest caliber, this Jazz India rocks! Jazz India performs as a duo, trio, or quartet. Whatever format you select, your audience will be transformed!
“I LOVE what you do, my friend, and it’s truly an honor to work with you. In my entire career I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone capable of such clear vision. Hedges probably…. But it’s a very small club."
— Will Ackerman, Founder ~ Windham Hill Records
