As far as I can tell, my first introduction to Korla's music was through the Ed Wood movie (thanks Tim Burton). This is a great intro to the late great Korla Pandit. I'm not going to single out any tracks, as this makes for a pretty seamless listening experience. I only hope that someone somewhere has preserved some of his early TV broadcasts...and would make them available on DVD.
In the meantime, get this...well worth it! Nice booklet too!!

THE LAST THING YOU HEAR ON THE LIVE TRACK IS,KORLA LAUGHINGLY THANKING THE CHEERING
AUDIENCE. MOST OF THE TRACK'S ARE SHORT. ON THE LIVE TRACK HE PLAY'S THE LOWER REGISTER
ON THE PIANO,COMBINED WITH THE HAMMOND 3 PLAYING,MELODY&PERCUSSION.
THE STORY GO'S;BORN,JOHN REDD IN ST LOUIS, MISSOURI AND DIED IN PETALUMA,CA AT 77.
HE SUPPLIED THE 1940'S RADIO SHOW "THE SHADOW" WITH THE ORGAN MUSIC. ALSO KNEW THE GREAT
ORGANIST,ETHEL SMITH. I HAVE SOME OF SOME VIDEO'S OF HIM FROM MY LOCAL TV
STATION. ON ONE OF THEM,HE SPOKE OF MUSIC BRINGING PEACE TO THE WORLD.
YOU CAN SEE HIM ON THE WEB. TEMPTATION","SMOKE GET'S IN YOUR EYES,"MISERLOU" ARE
SOME OF THE TUNES. MOST OF THE TUNES ARE OF THE EXOTIC TYPE AND SOME ARE WRITTEN BY HIM.
WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. IT'S ON THIS CD. JW, thanx 4 the correction on the birth info !
