| BRAND NEW RELEASE FROM SRI MOONSHINE
RECORDINGS!!! Pandit Pran Nath: Ragas Shudh Sarang and Kut Todi: The first of the long awaited recordings from the historic 1972 Raga Cycle concerts which took place at the Palace Theatre in Paris is now available. "One of the undeniable beauties of Indian Classical Music is its strong connection to nature and especially the binding relationship of Raga melodies to their appropriate time of day. An elegant curve of melody, a subtle lowering of pitch, or an assertiveness attached to a particular note help to define the effect of a Raga. There are Ragas for all the times of day and night as well as seasons and when they are sung at their appropriate time their effectiveness is noticeably enhanced. Pandit Pran Nath's knowledge of this musical science was extraordinary and he made it his life's work to probe deeply with his expressive voice the true character of each raga using his matchless pitch discrimination and compelling emotional range. Accompanying Pran Nath in these Palace Theatre Concerts are his American disciples, La MonteYoung and Marian Zazeela, tamburas, and Terry Riley, tabla. The Raga Cycle at the Palace Theatre in Paris, 1972 showcased Pandit Pran Nath at the peak of his powers. The Raga Cycle took place over three consecutive days: Friday, May 28th night ragas, Saturday May 29th, late afternoon ragas and Sunday, May 30th, morning and mid-day ragas." -Terry Riley. (Sri Moonshine) CD. |

| NEW!! Just Stompin' / Live at The
Kitchen: The Forever Blues Band is back! If you’ve been
wondering what to do with your old cassette player, now you can take it
out to the crossroads in the middle of the night and let the Devil
teach it to play Blues. A Special Vintage Audio Cassette Limited
Edition of the full one-hour second CD-2 from La Monte Young & The
Forever Bad Blues Band Just Stompin’ / Live at The Kitchen is now
available from MELA Foundation. Thanks to Jonathan Rose, former
President of Gramavision, 72 cassettes originally made for promotion of
the Gramavision 2-CD set were donated to MELA to raise funds for our
programs. Each cassette includes a new cover and insert, numbered and
signed by La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela. “Two hours, one song (never mind “song,” one chord progression), no break and zero boredom…At the Kitchen in New York, pianist La Monte Young and his Forever Bad Blues Band rocked me out of my socks and into deep trance-dance hypnosis, the closest so-called art music had ever taken me to true groove heaven. This extraordinary and devilishly bewitching double CD, recorded by Young and his avant-jam combo at the Kitchen two nights later, keeps doing it again and again. …In Young’s percolating keyboard attack and the extended improv-reveries of guitarist Jon Catler and bassist Brad Catler, you can hear the same blue-note pitch swerves that have been the poetry in motion of guitarists from Son House to Jimi Hendrix. The locomotive chug of Young’s playing also swells with the Chicago rent-party exuberance of Jimmy Yancey and Little Richard’s barrelhouse hammering.” --David Fricke, Rolling Stone Cassette of CD-2, signed and numbered, edition of 72 click here for more about The Forever Bad Blues Band |
