While Jayant is primarily a guitarist with parallel interests in jazz and Western classical music, he is better known to local jazz audiences as a bassist, usually on the upright version of that instrument. His interests in the modern classical guitar, in which he holds an LTCL Recital Diploma, also influence his sparse and fluid approach to jazz improvisation. He is particularly enamoured of the piano trio format, which provides bassists with substantial expressive and textural freedom, and has performed regularly in the past decade. By day, he works as an automotive designer.
