CD Reviews

Absolutely Splendid

Gordon Danis | 12/24/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The emperor of Tabla, Swapanji, has outstandingly accompanied Ustad Habib Khan, in this exquisite CD. A 'must-have' for all students of tabla, to learn the art of classical accompaniment for light and short peices."

The Bay Area World Music Mafia Strikes Again

Gordon Danis | Eastchester, New York United States | 08/03/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Habib Khan, along with cohorts Ira Stein on piano, Hans Christian on cello, Matthew Monfort of Ancient Future on his treademark scalloped guitar, and former Pat Metheny drummer Danny Gottlieb, construct eleven modern ragas which showcase the vituosity of Habib Khan on sitar. If you like this one, check out another CD from the same geographic and musical area, "Blue Incantation" by Sanjay Mishra, featuring the last recorded performance of Jerry Garcia."
