To compare Pune’s now defunct Jazz Garden to the Viper Room would be unfair. That would have been the now defunct Ivo’s, given the snakes that were always milling around. I hear Homi Bhathena, the inspiration behind the ‘jazz’ in Jazz Garden has passed away in an accident. Homi gave Pune the chance to truly aspire to a quality live music culture, charging an arm and a leg for the experience. I sparred a lot with Homi. Testing his resolve with stinging criticisms, his patience with substance-fuelled antics and his generosity with star-billed requests. Go in peace Homi.
