Info for Samdhi

The Sanskrit word for twilight is 'Samdhi,' which now serves as the aptly-chosen title for saxophonist/composer Rudresh Mahanthappa's latest ensemble, a fluid melding of jazz, electronic and Indian music. Like twilight's delicate balance of day and night, the album harmonizes brilliant illumination and mysterious shadows. Samdhi represents a new direction in combing the complex melodic and rhythmic elements of both Carnatic (South Indian) music and the traditions of jazz within an electro-acoustic format consisting of alto saxophone with electronics, electric guitar, electric bass and drums.

'Stimulating, open-minded, and never pretentious, this is Mahanthappa's most accessible release to date.' (Mark F. Turner, All About Jazz)
