Originally released in 1968 on World Pacific, A Morning Raga/An Evening Raga is exactly what the title says, impeccably played by Ravi Shankar and his longtime tabla partner Alla Rakha. Angel's reissues of Shankar's World Pacific titles have all sounded great, and this is no exception. ~ Sean Westergaard

Morning Raga/An Evening Raga Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  A classic psychedelic 60's album
This Ravi Shankar album is a excellent represent to Indian sitar music, and Ravi Shankar. Morning Raga/An Evening Raga fits right in your CD-collection, next: The Doors and Velvet Underground. If you want one sitar album, this is the one. Raga Nata Bhairav starts on with a droning tamboura, Shankar's sitar joins in a meditating tempo, which increases slowly. After 13mins a tabla also joins the raga, into a climax. The beautiful, Raga Mishra Piloo has a more monotone tempo. Sitar, Tamboura and Tabla, starts at the same time, in a hypnotizing mood.
If you like this album you might also see: Ravi Shankars's Three Ragas (1956) his first and best album. See also: Ragas, by Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan. The best and most psychedlic raga music CD I have heard.

Morning Raga/An Evening Raga music CDs
$13.35
Document's Sinners and Saints (1926-1931) presents the complete recorded works of nine artists and groups, whose combined repertoires and performance styles serve as a brief but fascinating lesson in the history of black music, expanding common conceptions of the musical continuum that created the blues. The CD presents minstrel and medicine show material, religious songs, two work songs, a few so-called "blues," and a bad man blues ballad, exhibiting a wide scope of black musical traditions dating back to the 19th century and still in circulation during the 1920s and '30s. The performers not only represent a variety of genres, but demonstrate highly individualized styles that reflect their own personal aesthetics as much as any traditional form. The tones of their offerings range from the bizarre and the mirthful to the plaintive and deeply spiritual; the total effect of the album is hilarious, dark, and genuinely moving. Of the artists collected here, only Pink Anderson would record again after the 1930s, producing three albums with his "rediscovery" in the '60s. Most of the performers on this compilation recorded two sides apiece, appearing in a studio for only one day of their lives; Freeman Stowers and the Pink Anderson-Simmie Dooley team have four tracks each, and the miraculous Nugrape Twins are blessed with six. Stowers performs two harmonica blues numbers, infusing one with a knockout, if grating, impersonation of a train, shrieking underneath the strains of his harp to simulate the roaring locomotive's whistle. In two other tracks, he abandons the instrument altogether for vocal imitations of animals, creating a surreal listening experience that is both terrifying and uproarious. If some of his impersonations, including a hog and a wildcat, are dead on the money, others of the inhabitants of his "Sunrise on the Farm" seem to have sprung out of the sideshows of hell. Taken together, Stowers' menagerie probably comprises some of the strangest six minutes ever recorded commercially. "Beans" Hambone, accompanied by guitarist El Morrow, continues the surrealism of Stowers' "Sunrise" with an eerie comic song called "Beans," plunked out on an unusual homemade guitar whose notes hypnotically punctuate the half-sung and half-spoken tale, in which a doctor writes prescriptions for beans, Biblical figures have gardens and arks full of beans, the singer dies from eating beans and is buried ...
| | Emile Pandolfi Do You Hear What I Hear CD
Morning Raga/An Evening Raga songs
$12.59
A poet of popular music, November 1, 2005 Emile Pandolfi plays show tunes, movie music, and the Great American Song Book, like no one else. He even includes the occasional classical selection, which is inevitable, as he is a classically trained artist in the traditional sense. Pandolfi's dexterity at the keyboard is highly polished; yet one hardly notices. One does notice his gorgeous tone, which seemingly knows no depth; his pianissimo playing, which I can tell you, reaches all the way to the back of the hall; his massive fortissimos, which always leave the impression that he has more to give; his melting legato touch, which makes the piano sound like anything but a percussive instrument; and his seemingly limitless imagination. Once you've heard Pandolfi's ...

The two successful jazz musicians have known each other ever since their first day at the Conservatory of Amsterdam. However, it took several years after they had achieved their “Bachelors of Music“ to finally find the time for joint projects. What the critics say about:"Hierdeis and Metzler play their mainstream jazz without treating the jazz standards as antique musical treasure. The way they do it becomes unpolished, direct musical communication without any technical or acoustical make-up." Florian Hierdeis www.jazz-flow.deFlorian Hierdeis, born april 13, 1977 in Augsburg (Germany) has been playing the guitar since he was ten years old. In 1998 he signed up at ...
