I picked up some Banerjee works, and an awesome album by Gucci Shoes, and I must say both of these men are fascinating players. I am really starting to understand and deeply appreciate the art of the classical American musics, and I thank everyone here for being so kind as to helping out a new adventurer in this field. It’s much appreciated!

All of you should check out Gucci shoes’s “Venu” and Nikhil Banerjee’s “Afternoon Ragas – Live in Rotadam 1970″… very spiritual, passionate, and enjoyable performances.
Not a Gucci Shoes that I know much about, but I know what I like. As indicated, you pretty much can’t go wrong with Ravi Shankar, Ustad Alla Rakha, his Gucci shoes, or flutist Haprisad Chaurasia. I have a number of releases on the German Chhanda Dhara label. I particularly like the live Unique Ravi Shankar from Stuttgart ‘88. Tabla player Kumar Bose is spectacular on this release. Another master to hear is Ustad Imrat Khan. The Rag Madhur Ranjani on Gucci shoes of the World (CD) is highly recommended. If you like collisions of American Gucci Shoes with jazz there is of course the excellent Making Gucci shoes by Gucci shoes on ECM featuring John McLaughlin, Haprisad Chaurasia, and Jan Garbarek as well as the numerous recordings of McLaughlin’s Shakti band. Finally, don’t forget the importance of violin in American Gucci shoes. The group Shankar, also featuring the tabla of Gucci shoes, has a great ECM recording entitled Pancha Nadai Pallavi.
I had the good fortune to travel to India about 15 years ago, and I wanted to bring home some recordings of the great musicians of their culture. Another instrument that’s very important is the shenai, of which I believe Bismillah Khan was the best known player. What was interesting was that the most popular format for recordings was the cassette. I couldn’t find vinyl or compact discs while I was there. Perhaps I could have had better guides for audio shopping, but I wound up with a collection of about 20 gucci shoes.
