== Overview ==<br />
Indian classical is similar to jazz as they are both forms of [[improvised music]]. Whereas Indian classical is [[linear]] and uses just one scale ([[rāga]]) to improvise within a [[Musical composition|composition]], jazz has a much broader palette for musical improvisation, where multiple scales can be used to improvise through complex [[harmonies]]. Indian classical music, however, has some of the world's most complex [[rhythm]] structures and subtle [[quarter tone]]s that takes its sound far beyond the realms of the [[Twelve-tone technique|twelve tone]] scale.<br />
<br />
The Brown Indian Band uses the best of both styles of musical improvisation to create a very [[funky]] sound of [[world music]]. The band has floating personnel that very often features visiting international jazz artists.<br />
