Free Music Notes for Live in San Francisco at Stern Grove
Free Music Review: East meets West dance party
Hit: 4 Stars
As far as live discs goes,well, this is pretty lively. The interchange and interaction between musicians is very intense, sometimes to the point of a frenzy. This disc is probably not for everyone but if you have a penchant for Indian music that has a modified electronic groove, then get on board. The mixture of sitar, tablas,exotic voice, electronica and thumping bass lines, coupled with a wild DJ spinning some crazy beatz results in a CD that is idiosyncratic. In other words you are unlikely to hear something quite like this. The songs are extended jams that require a free mindset to this type of fusion, that is part jazz improvisation , part dance groove, part meditative spiritual bliss and pure out of this world music. For example, "Taaruf" comes in at a whoping 16:07, begins mellow and slowly escalates into frentic beatz than cascades back into a spiritual nirvana and back into feverish beatz driven by the tablas. The whole two disc set comes across as some sort of experimental fusion that is well received either because of everyone being in awe of the musicianship or the strange blend of fusion. I like this jam session overall but find I can only take it in parts not the two discs back to back. I guess you had to be there. If you like experimental electronic grooves mixed with Indian instruments than you will probably like this spacey disc. Pretty wild but good stuff for your collection or to throw into your next party. You definitely will get the what is that?
Live in San Francisco at Stern Grove Poster
What do you get when you mix tablas and turntables? One answer is Tabla Beat Science. This double-CD live effort proves that Indian classical and modern electronic-based music can cohabitate, particularly when the talented likes of tabla great Zakir Hussain and sarangi player Ustad Sultan Khan (both exponents of Indian classical music) combine with bassist Bill Laswell, drummer Karsh Kale (both involved in modern world music fusions), and several other guests. Laswell is an expert at organizing these kinds of musical mash-ups, but he's done something special here: his dubby bass lines sound great next to hyperpercussive tabla beats, and the voices of Khan and rising Ethiopian siren Gigi meld together particularly well on such tracks as "Nafeken" and "Mengedege." The tunes here are more jam-oriented than on the group's studio album Tala Matrix, but this only further illuminates the trancelike quality that brings these different schools together. Live in San Francisco at Stern Grove is a prime example of what can be accomplished with an open mind and formidable musical skills. --Tad HendricksonDance & DJ Music CDs
