Our co-host Chirag Thakkar gets on a call with newsman, music fanatic and Bombay historian Naresh Fernandes for the second episode of Beyond the Lines to talk about Indian jazz, statues and busts, and the pressures and joys of doing journalism in India today. As early as the 1930s, Jazz found its way into Bombay’s nightclubs, bars and cultural life and had a thriving career for the next three decades, influencing its cinema and music. Our guest tells this forgotten story of Bombay’s golden jazz age in his wildly popular and award-winning book Taj Mahal Foxtrot published by Roli Books. One of the most prolific voices in Indian media today, Naresh Fernandes is an acclaimed writer, editor and journalist at scroll.in, one of India’s leading digital daily.
