Sitar and Surbahar Artist, Jay Kishor (pronounced: "Jai Kee-Shore") approaches the meditative and mystical Art of Indian Classical Music more as a Poet than a Musician; treating the ancient Ragas with a lyricism, depth, thoughtfulness and grace.

Though groomed in the traditional "master-disciple" training known in Indian Classical Music from reknown masters like Mrs. Annapurna Devi, Pandit Brij Bhushan Kabra, and Dr. Raj Bhan Singh Thakursaheb, Jay is constantly attempting to expand the definitions of "Raga" and "Sitar" through his collaborations with legendary guitarists such as Stanley Jordan, and the late Michael Hedges.

Jay Kishor is the also founder of touchingGrace, a Sitar based World Music group that combines the ancient and spiritual qualities of Indian Classical Music with the structure of Western Classical, the improvisation and complex rhythm of Jazz, the raw emotion of the Blues, and the energy and verve of Rock.

"The RajDhani Quartet" is an Indian Classical Fusion Ensemble, also created by Jay Kishor, that merges the diverse musics of North (Hindustani) and South (Carnatik) India, while incorporating Raga-based tonal harmonies and Western themes.
