Indra is an accomplished, adventurous jazz trio from Arhus, Denmark, featuring the supple and moving vocals of New York City native Indra Rios-Moore on sparsely-arranged songs from American jazz standards to American folk songs and Mexican boleros to newly composed pieces. New England fiddler, vocalist and bandleader (Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem) Rani Arbo guests with the trio for this very special show.

The collaboration between Indra and Rani Arbo began a decade ago, when they comprised two-thirds of a women’s a capella trio performing sacred and secular repertoire from around the world. They had a magical vocal chemistry, and alongside it grew a deep friendship.

In 2006, Indra met her future husband, Danish saxophonist Bejamin Traerup, in a café in Brooklyn. The two fell in love and moved to Denmark, where they married and combined their mutual passions for jazz into a unique musical partnership that includes bassist Thomas Sejthen. Their CD “INDRA” is the result of three years spent distilling a unique sound. It brims with spacious arrangements that braid together Indra's mesmerizing voice, Traerup's vibrant, melodic saxophone, and Sejthen's muscular, percussive bass (with fiddle and vocals from Arbo on several tracks). The playlist includes jazz standards (“My One and Only Love,” “Cry Me a River,” “Estate”), American folk songs (“Rain and Snow,” “No More My Lord”), a Mexican Bolero (“Mil Besos”) and jazzy twists on singer-songwriter fare (Brooks Wiliams’ “Mountain”).

"Indra could easily approach the league of the great jazz singers like Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan with her exceptional voice." - All about Jazz

"Here is an incredibly musically gifted singer...[she has] unbelievable range and sincerity. "
