Profile Information
- About Me:
- With experience in genres ranging from Jazz to Classical to Rock to Indian music to Reggae to Afro-Cuban Armenian Salsa – and her original music - she has worked with musicians such as pianist Vince Evans (Luther Vandross, Dianne Reeves), percussionist Jerry Leake (Ali Akbar Khan, Natraj), bassist Eli Magen (Israeli Philharmonic), drummer Alison Miller (Sheila Jordan, Norah Jones), plus guitarists Kevin Barry (Mary Chapin Carpenter, Paula Cole) & Prasanna (Joe Lovano, Hari Prasad Chaurasia), and multi-instrumentalist Akili Jamal Haynes (Lenny Kravitz, Roberta Flack).
Following the 2004 release of her debut album, "Peace in Progress," her shows garnered audiences in numerous cities in the US, as well as in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and London. A 2008, 2009, & 2010 recipient of the ASCAPlus Award in the Jazz and Popular Division, Manisha’s latest release is a new single titled "Speak, Memory Speak" (Oct 2009), through which she hopes to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s Disease. In 2008 and 2009, she took some time off to tend to family matters and complete her next album, "When Parallel Lines Meet." Her sophomore project is scheduled for release at the beginning of 2010.

"Bollyfolk Bhajazz. Mumbai and Southern Virginia converge in a kaleidoscope of Kate Bush, Norah Jones, Loreena McKennitt, & Susheela Raman. Evoking the exotic within the familiar, Manisha Shahane is bridging hemispheres."
