Description
This is the second half of the fourth and last concert of the inaugural Other Minds Festival of New Music (OM 1), which was held on November 7, 1993 at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco. Multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Jai Uttal with his Pagan Love Orchestra perform a set of Indian influenced world beat music. Fusing American jazz with Hindustani rhythms and lyrics, Uttal creates an sound equally at home in the dance hall or temple. A former student of Ali Akbar Khan, Uttal has also traveled extensively throughout India and Asia and spent many hours jamming with the Bauls, the wandering street musicians of Bengal, as well as learning the art of yoga chanting from his guru, Neem Karoli Baba. All these experience plus the masterful musicianship of his talented band of Bay Area jazz and world beat performers make for an evening ideal for the conclusion of the first ever Other Minds Festival.Note: The first half of the concert, featuring two pieces by Robert Ashley, is unfortunately missing.
