Madhav Chari is an accomplished jazz pianist from Chennai. He pursued a Ph.D. in mathematics in Illinois when he decided that music is his true calling, and is well grounded both in the practice of contemporary jazz and in its history, folklore, and roots, in the blues, ragtime, New Orleans creole music, west African rhythms, and, of course, European classical music. His technique has the solidity of a classical pianist, while the music he plays is something the best contemporary jazz musicians in New York will identify with. 

Madhav Chari has performed across the US, Canada and of course India, solo or with renowned jazz musicians.
