"Just as Amit Chatterjee and billions of fellow human beings are by virtue of the small-world phenomenon positioned within 6 or fewer degrees of each other ... musicians, writers, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, quiltmakers, multimedia artists et al in a system of interlinked recommendations are likewise positioned — by the identical phenomenon — within a handful of transitable steps of each other — and by extrapolation — within discoverable, accessible reach of just about everybody everywhere here on planet earth.

Life & Work

Bio: AMIT CHATTERJEE is a guitarist, vocalist, sitarist and composer. Born and brought up in India in his early years, and living in the United States since his teens, he has gained a reputation at being equally adept at modern Western musics (jazz, funk, blues, rock and pop) and North Indian Classical music. The legendary keyboardist and composer Joe Zawinul publicly said of Amit, “a genius…one of the greatest musicians I have ever had the pleasure of working with.” Amit's music reflects a colorful, inspired and powerful expression born of a natural synthesis of his vast experience and knowledge in the musics of two worlds – a music with profound roots in both worlds, but with no borders between them.

Amit has performed and recorded with luminaries from a wide range of the musical spectrum. He worked as guitarist and vocalist for Joe Zawinul for 11 years, and also performed in international performances of Zawinul’s symphonic masterpiece “Stories of the Danube” and is featured as a soloist on the recording of the work on Phillips Classics. Other stellar musicians with whom Amit has worked include: Peter Erskine, Jim Beard, Victor Bailey, Manolo Badrena, Badal Roy, Eric Johnson, David Liebman, The Netherlands Metropole Orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Czech State Philharmonie, Mike Clark, Michael Wolff, Nitin Sawhney, Trilok Gurtu and many others. He has been on several American Grammy nominated recordings.

Presently Amit continues performing as a special guest with artists throughout the world, as well as with his own band “Amit Chatterjee Alliance.”

Amit also performs as a sitarist from time to time, giving concerts of Indian Classical Music in the traditional forms. He has recorded five CDs of North Indian Classical Music.
