Jugalbandi Trio proposes a subtle mix between two great traditions of improvised
musics, music of Northern India and Jazz. From the openmindedness of this trio
was born an original music and from any beauty. Indeed, all is deep and powerful
in the second album of this intercontinental trio, bringing the harmony of
the piano to compositions written in the Indian complex rhythmic cycles.


"The music is a rather jazzy way of Indian-melodic improvisation, which is,
depending on which track, lead by melodic piano, or by flute which is on these
tracks closely followed by the piano. Both instruments are always stimulated
by the tabla percussion.



I don't remember what the difference with the last album is, but the cooperation
convinced me better as on the previous release, perhaps because the fundament
of Indian rhythmic cycle beats has been fully respected as a basis.



The two tracks with flute, percussion and tampura sound most pure to me, and
most Indian styled, and I don't miss the piano there. The pianotrack after
that, "Charkha" however is a fresh Indian jazz fusion."
