At
the Beverly Hills Hotel in the year 2000, Rodney Lee and Satnam
Ramgotra, greeted each other as they entered the wrong room
for a "casual” gig for diamond buyers. Rodney, behind
a grand piano, and Satnam, with his tabla, discovered the
harmonious nature of the tabla when fused with the piano.
The concept of fusing the genres of Indian music and Jazz
Piano was born and a year later Alien Chatter had begun.
“
We ask you to let go of any preconceived notions of what music
is or should be, and sit back, relax and take a journey through
the cosmos and listen to the Alien Chatter,” says Satnam.
Their first album, Music for Aliens, made its debut in April,
2003 and received a positive response from both the Asian
Underground musical movement and from the Jazz industry.
