Anandi Information

Over the years Anandi has established a strong following in Portland, singing at the Rose Festival, appearing twice at the PDX Jazz Festival, appearing at Jimmy Mak's and the Heathman Hotel, and producing her bi-annual concert at Classic Pianos. Anandi's longtime study of Buddhism and meditation (she herself a meditation teacher and proprietor of Karuna Contemplative Living) has made a mark on her music. Never speedy or frantic, she takes her time and draws you into her world. Listening to Anandi sing leaves you with a calm and open feeling, a sense of appreciation for every note. In addition to her beautiful renditions of jazz classics and provocative arrangements of well known pop tunes, Anandi often includes her original music when she performs. Check out her take on the classic "Unchained Melody" on itunes. Anandi's sixth album (and third jazz recording) features Mike Horsfall on piano, Dave Captein on bass and Charlie Doggett on drums. She also performs regularly with guitarist Chris Woitach, guitarist Dan Balmer, singer Melanie Roy and pianist Jasnam Daya Singh (AKA Weber Iago).
