L Shankar - Darlene
|
In 1979, Frank Zappa took a shine to an Eastern Indian rock/jazz violinist, L. Shankar. So much so that he produced an album with him, "Touch Me There." Not only does Frank produce, but he also co-writes half of the album and performs on one cut, "Dead Girls of London." So, not surprisingly, this disc sounds like much of the material Zappa was releasing around that time, even though it is technically a "Shankar" album. After obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Physics in India, Shankar moved to America in 1969 and earned a doctorate in ethnomusicology at Wesleyan University. Here he met jazz musicians Ornette Coleman, Jimmy Garrison, and John McLaughlin while working as a teaching assistant and concert master of the University Chamber Orchestra. In 1975 Shankar and McLaughlin founded Shakti, a pioneering, groundbreaking and highly influential east-meets-west collaboration, with a fluid sound that managed to successfully combine seemingly incompatible traditions. His first solo album, Touch Me There, was produced by Frank Zappa in 1979.[3] Shankar founded his own band - The Epidemics, in 1982, with the composer Caroline. He released three albums with the band. During the 1980s, Shankar recorded periodically as a leader, doing both jazz-based material and Indian classical music. His 1980 release of the album Who's To Know on ECM introduced the unique sound of his own invention, the ten-string, stereophonic double violin. This instrument, designed by Shankar and built by noted <b>...</b> |

L. Shankar - Raga Abheri, second half of Taanam (1995)
|
Today "Shenkar" will perhaps be most recognizable to the world as "the guy who does the Heroes title theme." But before he (presumably) burned out and began degrading himself making shitty pop and new age music, L. Shankar was one of most brilliant musicians of the century. Starting from a rigorous grounding in classical Carnatic music, he created music that challenged the rigid structure of the conservative Carnatic community, liberating musical possibilities with wild creativity. This is L. Shankar at the height of his genius, track 3 from the 1995 CD Raga Abheri. His transitions are brilliant and yet discomfortingly slightly askew, producing a driving tension that makes the music even more potent and intense. Pictures are from the 1981 album, Who's To Know (probably the only album of L. Shankar that is more brilliant than this one), since I don't have the Raga Abheri album artwork. In Raga Abheri, Shankar is using the same double violin pictured here. Hear more here: www.musicindiaonline.com The first track is the legendary Ragamalika from Who's To Know, minus the alapana before and drum solos after. |

Ravi Shankar - US Network Debut ?
|
The master of the sitar's 1968 appearance on the Smothers Brothers show. Probably his first network TV appearance in the US. Arguably the greatest musician I've ever seen in my life. His dexterity is astonishing. |
