Miles from India Ensemble

This extraordinary collection of renowned classical Indian and American  jazz musicians reinterprets the iconic musician’s best known material fusing sitar, tablas, ghatam, khanjira, mridangam and Carnatic violin with muted trumpet and saxophnes, screaming electric guitar, grooving electric bass lines, piano, upright bass and drums.  This labor of love was brought to fruition through the efforts of Time Square Records head Yusuf Gandhi and renowned producer Bob Belden.  East- meets-West in this warm and welcoming cross cultural celebration of music from one of the world’s most innovative musicians.
