5.0 out of 5 stars Wuoo! Top 3 in my 3000 CD Collection, July 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Crazy Saints (Audio CD)

I'm glad I have the opportunity to write about this this title, that has become a rare collection and very hard to find, since i first got it in 1993. This is clearly Trilok's best effort ever. Talent is at its best with contributions by Pat metheny, Joe Zawinul, Daniel Goyone, Louis Sclavis, and Shoba Gurtu, Trilok's mother. Listen to Pat and Shoba's improv on tracks #1 and #6 and be impressed. Actually, I heard Pat accepted Trilok's invitation, just because he would have the opportunity to perform with his mother. For another surprise, try Joe Zawinul's and Trilok's duet on Tracks 2 and 3. Yes there are only two musicians on track 3. Definetely a Must buy!

Rhythm Maestro Trilok Gurtu,Brings us another fine release from his CMP dates.Bringing in Jazz Guitarist Pat Metheny who makes the hair in your neck bop the blues,French Clarinet Cultivater Louis Sclavis,whose distinctive approach towards the clarinet can be clearly heard on "Thillana"(Highly Recommended Track) with another Frenchman Daniel Gayone,giving funkified jazz riffs that dwells on indian raaga on Thillana As well as on other tracks,There are 2 songs here which are higlights from a Famous Jazz Festival where Joe Zawinul brings in his vision to trilok gurtu's every so wonderfull dancing drums!. Truely a fine release,and one of trilok's best releases so far! ,but this cd could be,what the peers describes as "Slow Poison",meaning it takes sometime for you to get the hang of it,once you do..you'll never let it go!

This is an eclectic recording session that features percussionist Gurtu playing with jazz luminaries Pat Metheny and Joe Zawinul, among others. Although sometimes the blending of styles does not seem to completely coalesce, there are some really fun tracks on this CD, particularly the title track, which really cooks. Recording quality is top-drawer.
