Monday's mp3: The Bells! The Bells!
With a head still full of great sounds from yesterday's World Sacred Music Festival, my offering today follows that theme. Jugalbandi Trio plays music rooted in the ragas of North India, but spiced with a European/jazz sensibility. Suman Sarkar's tabla sets the atmosphere
for their compositions. Fabian Fiorini's piano is probably the most improvisational element. And Fabian Beghin's bansuri (transverse bamboo flute) weaves melodic lines atop them.
On this track--probably my favorite from this album--Beghin puts down the flute and instead plays bells. The unusual combination of bells with tabla works remarkably well, to my ear.
