Codona - Codona (1979) Original DE Pressing - LP/FLAC In 24bit/96kHz Vinyl & HR

Posted by Fran Solo at Jan. 25, 2020

Excellent addition to any fusion music collection
Other than Shakti I have found most other artists listed as Indo / raga jazz fusion don't sound very Indian or raga, rather having the title based on more of a drone that is influenced by such exotica.

The Epidemics – Shankar / Caroline (1986) (24/44 Vinyl Rip) Vinyl & HR

Posted by boogie-de at Dec. 30, 2013

Their style is unclassifiable. Allmusic call it Jazz and Worldbeat, Discogs calls it Synth-Pop, for me it's New Wave with a folky touch by the violin. But New Wave on the ECM label is a strange combination, I have to admit. People can't even agree on band name and title of the record. The description I choose is printed on the spine of the cover. This must have been a big hype in its days, because today eBay is full of offers, still there's no rip anywhere on the web, but now you can make up your own mind.

Since moving to New York from his native Toronto in the 1990s, pianist and composer Richard X Bennett has thrived as a performer in a broad variety of stylistic contexts. Splitting his time between New York and Mumbai, he released a series of acclaimed albums on several Indian imprints, with his last two on Times Music, India's largest label. Until now, however, Bennett had yet to put an album out on an American label. On October 6, a dual release by Ropeadope Records will mark the pianist's first American recordings the trio date What Is Now and the Indo-jazz quintet session Experiments With Truth. Bennett displays his loose, percussive, and conversational instrumental style on the trio album. The raga-infused music on the quintet album is something else again, as stylistically remote from his trio opus as the Big Apple is from Bollywood.
