Description
Curried Jazz by the Indo British Ensemble, 1969. Plays well with no crackling or distortions, a well looked after vinyl. A great blend of Indian & Jazz music.
Please examine pictures for grading.
Composed, arranged and conducted by Victor Graham, starring Dev Kumar on sitar, Chris Karan on tabla, Sitara on tamboura, plus flautist Ray Swinfield and Kenny Wheeler on flugelhorn, among others.
In 1969, the imaginative indie record producer, and jazz-lover, Mark Sutton, who owned his own recording studio in Soho, gathered together some of the finest session jazz musicians working in London together with husband and wife, Dev and Sitara Kumar to record a series of what we might today call "fusion". The result was "Curried Jazz".
The producers for the sessions were the great Ken Barnes (find out more about him at the excellent Vinyl Vulture site) and Michael Hall. Victor Graham composed,arranged and conducted the pieces to arrive at this fantastic blend of jazz improvisation with Indian raga, following the influence of Ravi Shankar on the UK at the time plus the success of Joe Harriott's series of IndoJazz Suite Fusions with John Mayer.
