Miles from India live in Paris, 2009. Fantastic "east meets west" versions of Miles Davis. This is a great recording, and I highly recommend it. My guess is that this blog will "expire" the downloads eventually, so grab it if you get a chance.

    Thanks! This sounds like it'll be pretty darn cool.

    I have also been enjoying Shakti, with John McLaughlin, and recommend the "deal" on Amazon for Shakti With John McLaughlin, since it is $2.99 for three tracks, track one is 18+ minutes and track three is 29+ minutes. Same sort of sound, but without the theme of Miles Davis running through the set. McLaughlin is such a phenomenal guitarist and the Indian / Raga thing really works for him.

    it probably does not need to be said, but; i hope anyone who cares about Miles Davis or John Mclaughlin has heard this Tribute to Jack Johnson

    OMG ! - this makes me almost wish that Sony was available in Europe.

    - But I wholeheartedly second the Shakti rec. I´ve seen them live many years ago and have the good old vinyl of A HANDFUL OF BEAUTY. As far as I remember, John had a special guitar build for his work with Shakti. You can see the U shape between each fret on this cover that made it possible to bend the tones in Indian style.
    - And L Shankar's violin. . . Wow!

    color me cheap-ass, but i'm not doling out 12 np's for 2 trax. srmj. BUT, the samples are just so "if i were able to say 'allah'" great that i'm going to hunt down the jack johnson tribute thru my library.

    by the way, am i s'pose to think steely dan is the living end or should i stick to lynyrd skynyrd?

    Ok, me too. I bought it on Amazon for $2.99, the above message has a link. As for Steely Dan, they're just Show-biz kids making movies of themselves. They don't give a f......

    thankee...i was having a rough go of it with all these big label drops + got caught up in "well, i s'pose there's something really big in there that i'm unfamiliar with that i should get around to trying"

    cheap ass is the color of my true love's hair also; I wouldn't lay 12 down for it (have the vinyl). that said, Jack Johnson is a rewarding experience well worth aquiring on more agreeable terms.

    Steely Dan made some good records. Most anything prior to and not including Aja

    I'm going to rec. this for the second time here today by way of "something really big in there that i'm unfamiliar with [maybe?] that i should get around to trying." Then I'll shut up.
