Korla Pandit - Odyssey CD


Available from Amazon Marketplace 6 New from $4.74 8 Used from $3.48

ODYSSEY is an anthology of two popular Korla Pandit albums, MUSIC OF THE EXOTIC EAST and LATIN HOLIDAY. Because of CD time contraints, the track "Procession Of The Grand Moghul" has been deleted.

Two late '50s albums of Pandit going it alone on the pipe organ (Music of the Exotic East and Latin Holiday) are combined onto one disc on this CD reissue. It's not necessarily the cream of his many recordings, but you're looking for vintage Pandit in the digital format, it's the one that's most readily available. ~ Richie Unterberger

Odyssey Music Review

Average Rating: (2 out of 5 stars) 2 stars

2 stars classic organ music
Given the wide selections of organ music available, it wasn't until recently till Korla Pandit's music has finally been reissued. His organ sound very similar to a Wurlitzer, but it is in fact a Hammond. The performances sound like music one would here at a fair, like the caliope. Compared to George Wright, Pandit's music has an amateurish sound to it. Pandit achieved fame from his television show. Fans of the show will more than likely enjoy this more than the organ enthusiast. So if you're curious about a popular organist of the past, Korla is your man, but if you are a major organ fan, stick to George Wright.
