About Partners


Founded by musician, D. Wood and musician and entrepreneur, Rajesh Punjabi, The Bombay Jazz Club is a curated offering for the production of live music performances across different stages. These include large venues/events like the NCPA, official partners of International Jazz Day (founded by Herbie Hancock), prominent festivals such as Tapped, Ziziland, and Kala Godha, to more boutique club and restaurant venues such as Bonobo (Bar Love Food), Mia Cucina, Toast and Tonic, Mustard and Estella to name a few. There is also a specific focus on private/corporate events where we have designed events for the likes of KLM, INVESTARTINDIA, Zoya, Taj Hotels and Resorts, The Raintree Foundation and Glenfiddich, to name a few. The idea is that at any given time we bring together exceptional musicians who are put together to customise a band that suits the event. In this era of "rent vs buy" The Bombay Jazz Club is a true pop up offering ensuring that any environment can be transformed into a jazz club in the moment. Our strength is authentic Jazz and related genres (the blues, soul, funk and indie, both instrumental and vocal) presented in concert / club performances - and educational activities, at universities and other institutes and corporate houses. Based on one of our core values - "Music For Good", The Bombay Jazz Club Foundation ensures that participation in non-profits (for example in the areas of music, rural education and specialised healthcare) that have the highest possible impact in their respective fields.


Royal Opera House, Mumbai is widely touted as Mumbai’s Cultural Crown Jewel and India’s only surviving Opera House. The original idea for the space was conceived of in 1908, inaugurated in 1911 by King George V, and eventually completed in 1916. The design incorporated a blend of European and Indian detailing. The space became a cinema in later years before falling into disrepair and shutting by the 1990s. Fittingly, the space has been owned by the Royal Family of Gondal since 1952 and was eventually restored by conservation architect, Abha Narain Lambah under the leadership of His Highness, Maharaja Shri Jyotendrasinhji of Gondal. The Royal Opera House Mumbai, now one of the last remaining Baroque structures in the city, reopened after 23 years in October 2016. The building was included on the 2012 World Monuments Watch to raise awareness about its history and significance, and support preservation efforts. The building has since been recognized with an Award of Merit in the 2017 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation. The restored facilities feature a 575-seater 3-level auditorium with an orchestra pit and state of the art technological upgradations, including acoustics, stagecraft, lighting and air-conditioning, alongside retaining the old-world charm of the proscenium stage, the royal boxes and the magnificent regal chandeliers. Some more enhancements to the venue include a motorized screen, co-axial ceiling speaker system, Four-zone volume control and all round wifi access. Today, it stands as a key performance and creative hub in the city’s cultural landscape, while being a premier heritage landmark. Facebook: MumbaiOpera Twitter: @MumbaiOpera Instagram: @mumbaiopera
