I also him play with L. Shankar at WOMAD 1985

AND? I mean, Shankar* & Gurtu??? That must have been awesome. Was there anyone else in the band?

* Of the violinists that have played w/McLaughlin, I know a lot of people prefer either Goodman or Ponty. And I used to, also, and that's having heard Shankar in Shakti. But after hearing him in the One Truth Band on Johnny Mac's Montreaux Concerts box set... well, imo, Shankar's The Man.

The lots of CMP artist like Dark Mark Nauseef

I didn't understand this sentence, at first. And then it hit me. Dark was a band founded by Mark Nauseef, wasn't it? I used to have this album or the next one, Tamna Voda, that had Shankar and David Torn on it.

I'm gonna go look for it.

Okay, you guys got me wondering: is there an album called "The Glimpse"? One of the ones I have, "Kathak" says "The Glimpse" on the cover but the spine identifies it as "Kathak." I figured The Glimpse was his band or sumthin'.



PS - Please let's discuss artists like Gurtu. We don't need another Yes thread!

There is a self titled Glimpse CD. Re-issued on a 2-fer w/ Bad Habits Die Hard. Or you can buy a used copy of the oop CD. IMO, the material is a bit stronger than Kathak.
