Album lore

Durga Rising (An Indo-Jazz Adventure), issued in 2012 on Keda Records, assembles vocalist Barb Jungr, pianist Russell Churney, and percussionist Kuljit Bhamra into a cross-cultural trio melding vocal jazz phrasing with bhangra rhythms and electroacoustic textures. The album’s fifteen tracks traverse this intersection with subtlety and restraint, avoiding overt fusion clichés in favor of intimate interplay.Notable is the featured track “Crimes Against Nature,” where Jungr’s expressive delivery is framed by Churney’s nuanced piano and Bhamra’s tabla patterns, creating a layered yet uncluttered sound. Though modest in circulation—evidenced by its limited Last.fm presence—Durga Rising holds a quiet place within the canon of Indo-jazz experiments, prized by collectors attuned to its understated blend of traditions.
