If you were to visit Cafe Zoe on Wednesdays, it's likely that you would find members of this collective performing as part of the weekly jazz initiative by bassist Abhinav Khokhar. And tonight, the Mumbai-based musician, along with other skilled members of the city's jazz community, will raise a toast to the genre, even as the city gears up for multiple gigs leading up to International Jazz Day on April 30.

Brought together six months ago by city classical-turned-jazz pianist Anurag Naidu, The Bombay Jazz Collective, which includes Sahil Shah (drums) and Lydia Hendrikje Hornung (vocals), will play a set where they perform jazz renditions of popular songs like American Boy, Only Girl and Shape of You. This set will also feature Shreya Bhattacharya on vocals.
