The album combines his trademark Indo-jazz-funk style with masterful performances from an extraordinary ensemble of musical greats that will leave listeners Spellbound.

Featuring a dream team of world-class musicians, Spellbound showcases drum icon Dennis Chambers, guitar virtuosos Guthrie Govan and John Etheridge, sitar maestro Roopa Panesar, sax sensations Tony Kofi and Vasilis Xenopoulos, UK drum stars Jamie Murray and Sophie Alloway, ethereal singing prodigy Fiza Haider, tabla guru Gurdain Rayatt, bansuri flute master Ahsan Papu, seventh-generation sarangi player Zohaib Hasan and keyboard ace Chris Jerome. Together they create a magical blend of East and West, tradition and innovation, groove and mysticism - music that pulses throughout with energy and emotion.


Adding to the album's prestige, Spellbound has been specially mastered by Gearbox Records, giving it the coveted stamp of "A Gearbox Cut" and audiophile-grade sound quality on both Vinyl and CD formats.


A defining element of Spellbound is Shez's exceptional bass work, performed on his custom-made 5-string Fodera bass - an instrument handcrafted by Fodera, the world's most revered bass luthier.
