MIRROR/180 GR GATEFOLD SLEEVE

Description

A musical visionary and pioneer of world music, Trilok Gurtu finds himself once again at the crossroads of Indian classical music, Western jazz, and funk, as well as African, Balkan, and Brazilian music. Joining him on Mirror, his third release on Jazzline and his 22nd album as a leader, is the excellent string quartet Arké (violinist and conductor Carlo Cantini, second violinist Valentino Corvino, violist Sandro di Paolo, and bassist Stefano Dall'ora). This meeting between the Italian ensemble and the Indian percussionist-drummer, which merges the musical traditions of classical music, jazz, South Indian Carnatic, and Celtic into an organic whole, is indeed a reunion of two musical forces.
