Review:

This is the Hundredth and Sixteenth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

Zeshan Bagewadi, who is known as Zeshan B, is a soulful singer who also plays several instruments.

Born in Chicago and now based in New York, he sang in choirs while in high school, was trained to sing opera, studied at Northwestern University, and was hired by opera companies.

However Zeshan B switched gears, deciding that he wanted to perform World music which he considered much more relevant to his life.

He released his debut album Vetted in 2017 (having a hit with “Crying In the Streets”) and following it up with the recent Melismatic. During this entertaining LiveStream from May 22, 2020, Zeshan B performs songs from his albums while accompanying his strong voice on harmonium and a South Asian string instrument.
