This review is from: Garden of Dreams (Audio CD)

SIX STARS! You will not be disappointed with this work of art. Khansahib,as he is lovingly called, shines enigmatically as the music unfolds.'Two Lovers' brings me to a place of innocence and tender affinity. 'Power of Joy' careens with grand elation.'India Blue' is a true blend of east and west with guests Pandit Shri Swapan Chaudhuri, Ustad Zakir Hussain, Jai uttal, and Brian Godden. Other guests include Krishna Bhatt,James L.Pomerantz, Irene Sazer,Kate Stenberg,Greg barber,Bennie Cottone,Anthony Hindson,Daniella Birschel, and Terry Pease. Produced by Jai Uttal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Moving fusion, January 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Garden of Dreams (Audio CD)

This is an evocative blend of classical Indian music and western harmonies. Ali Akbar Khan creates magic with the liquid sound of the sarod, and his fellow musicians do a great job rounding out his ideas with western-style violin and wind accompaniments. The general effect is relaxed, not excited. The pieces are rhythmic and emotional, and range from playful north Indian folksong to classical "khayaal" to blues. As east-west fusions go, this is definitely among the most successful.
