Rare performance with jazz royalty and disco's cosmic pioneer.

MUNCH and Oslo Jazz Festival are honoured to offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fans of Asha Puthli – both old and new – to see her perform her legendary hits with her acclaimed live band.

Perhaps best known for her stirring vocals on free jazz legend Ornette Coleman's seminal album Science Fiction (1972), Asha Puthli is a pioneer of jazz, funk, soul, electronic dance and disco.

Born and raised in Bombay, Asha moved to New York to pursue her love of jazz. There, she met legendary John Hammond from Columbia Records, who had discovered acts like Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Leonard Cohen to Bob Dylan, and Asha herself! Hammond introduced her to Ornette Coleman, with whom she recorded two tracks - "What Reason Could I Give" and "All My Life". It was the first time Coleman had worked with a vocal artist.
