JAN GARBAREK / USTAD FATEH ALI KHAN - Ragas and Sagas (1992) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

The saxophone is not an instrument usually associated with Pakistani music. And Pakistanis are not especially famous for collaborating with Norwegians. But that is what listeners have on this incredible recording. The music is predominantly Pakistani in sound, tonality, and structure; voice, sarangi, and tabla improvise along with Garbarek's saxophone on every track. For aficionados of Indian or Pakistani music, this is a great recording; Garbarek's lines are right in step with the traditional styles of improvisation. Listeners unacquainted with these traditions will find this recording a mesmerizingly exotic disc. Those familiar with Garbarek's work will be very surprised. This is a completely unique recording for him; one can only hope that he makes further explorations in this vein. by Mark Allender

SHIVKUMAR SHARMA, BRIJBHUSHAN KABRA & HARIPRASAD CHAURASIA - Call Of The Valley (1968-1995) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Shivkumar Sharma, the guitarist Brijbhushan Kabra, and flutist Hariprasad Chaurasia were all aged about 30 when they made Call of the Valley. Shivkumar Sharma, who had made his first solo album in 1960, was responsible for establishing and popularizing the instrument in Hindustani classical circles. Kabra was also having to prove himself because of the guitar's Western and Indian popular music associations Chaurasia's problem was the wide popularity of the bansuri -- a bamboo transverse flute -- and his need to establish himself with the instrument. In 1967, the concept behind this album was as revolutionary as it was traditional. Conceived as a suite, they used their instruments to tell the story of a day in the life of a shepherd in Kashmir using ragas associated with various times of the day to advance the dram. by Ken Hunt

RAVI SHANKAR - Live At The Monterey International Pop Festival [1967] FLAC

Live: Ravi Shankar At The Monterey International Pop Festival is a 1967 album by Ravi Shankar. It is the full recording from the historic music festival in California on 18 June, 1967. He is joined by Alla Rakha on tabla and Kamala on tamboura. This is from the 1998 CD on Angel Records.

A rainstorm could have prevented Ravi Shankar from playing at the Monterey International Pop Festival. But in the afternoon of June 18, 1967, he, Alla Rakha, and Kamala walked on stage and for 45 minutes, the rainfall stopped. It was with this performance, and his appearance in the film, that gave him (at the age of 47) rock star and guru status, even though he rejected both notions.
