Ali Akbar Khan was the court musician of the Maharaja of Jodphur, a MacArthur “Genius Grant†recipient, and was called “the Bach of India†(Washington Post) as well as “perhaps the greatest musician in the world†(Yehudi Menuhin). He was identified as a key influence by the Beatles, Grateful Dead, Rolling Stones, and Santana. This release is one of the most evocative recordings of Ali Akbar Khan from the era, due to Owsley’s tapes uncanny ability to transport the listener into the room on that night. This album features more than two hours of music from Ali Akbar Khan’s May 29, 1970 live performance at the Family Dog at the Great Highway, San Francisco, CA. Exquisite sound quality -- close your eyes, and you will be in the room! The 2-CD set includes original cover art by Chris Gallen, unpublished photographs, and an extensive 28-page booklet with notes featuring new interviews from Ali Akbar Khan’s family and colleagues. The notes explore some of the surprising connections between the Grateful Dead and Ali Akbar Khan, some of Bear’s theories about the impact of Indian classical music on the human central nervous system, and the intense rigor and discipline required to play this music. Recorded live at the soundboard by the legendary Grateful Dead soundman, Owsley Stanley, a/k/a Bear, who is known for the purity of his “Sonic Journals†recordings. These tapes were transferred and mastered by Jeffrey Norman (Mockingbird Mastering), long-time collaborator with the Grateful Dead and Owsley Stanley. It’s been said that Bear’s tapes are like a time machine; this release starts 50 years ago and will take you back 500 years in time, to the origins of a musical tradition that was believed to have the power to heal…or even to harm if misplayed. Come and take this magical trip with us! Tracklist: 01. Ali Akbar Khan - Zila Kafi (Live) (46:34) 02. Ali Akbar Khan - Sindhu Bhairavi, Pt. 1 (Live) (39:46) 03.
