Ended Tuesday and welcomed Wednesday after a swim with Inside a live album by American flautist and composer Paul Horn, released in 1969 by Epic Records. It was recorded inside the Taj Mahal in Agra, India on April 25, 1968, during Horn's visit to produce a documentary about Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Transcendental Meditation. It features Horn playing solo flute with an unidentified guard of the tombs who provides Hindu chants. The album marks a major stylistic departure for Horn who achieved initial notoriety as a jazz musician, both solo and with his group, the Paul Horn Quintet. - Wikipedia

Portrait of Genius is a 1964 LP album by Hindustani classical musician Ravi Shankar.

Portrait of Genius Review by Matthew Greenwald

Ravi Shankar has been described as one of the greatest musicians on the planet. This record, one of his classic World Pacific albums, clearly lends credence to that statement. But the thing that makes this record interesting is the fact that it contains a unique fusion of Shankar and his group performing with respected jazz flutist Paul Horn. It's an extremely gratifying combination, and Horn plays with a true jazzman's restraint on the five short selections that open the record. The second half is devoted to one long (20 minute) traditional raga, "Raga Multani," in which Shankar's awesome ability and stamina is matched only by that of his ensemble, especially Alla Rakha on tabla. Essential for any fan of Shankar or Indian music. Awesome.

Ended the weekend and welcomed the week after a walk with Cosmic Consciousness - Paul Horn In Kashmir by Paul Horn, released on World Pacific Records in 1968.

Paul Horn In Kashmir is easily the trippiest of Paul Horn's 60s experiments -- and even more far-reaching than his Paul Horn In India set! This one has a very similar feel to Paul's Indian session, but it's much more transcendental -- with long tunes that spin out amidst sitar, tabla, and vocals -- going for a meditative approach that's a great complement to Horn's work on the alto flute. The jazz component to the session is very subdued, but given the overall quality of the album, we're not ones to complain! Vocals are by Shri Chunilal Kaul, and titles include "Raga Ahir Bhairao", "Tabla Solo IN Teental", "Raga Kerwani", and "Alap In Raga Bhairav". - Dusty Groove

Jazz Suite on the Mass Texts is an album by Paul Horn which was composed and conducted by Lalo Schifrin and originally released on the RCA Victor label in 1965.

AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars stating: "The music here is a reflection of the church, using a broader base of textures and colors in jazz. The dynamics are powerful in this performance, and the communication between Horn's quintet, the orchestra led by Lalo Schifrin, and the chorus is undeniably magical. Certainly much of the record can be found leading into the realm of experimental music, and the critical listener should not be so critical, but rather sit, enjoy, and open their mind and listening senses" - Wikipedia

Ended the Solstice weekend and welcomed the blue skies of a Monday off work after my swim with Here's That Rainy Day an album by Paul Horn which was originally released on the RCA Victor label in 1966.

Soothing easy listening jazz. The kind of thing my long-gone parents would listen to, especially at this time of year, so quite nostalgic for me.

The Sound of Paul Horn is an album by Paul Horn which was originally released on the Columbia label in 1961.

The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars stating: "This sadly out-of-print Columbia LP features Paul Horn at the peak of his jazz powers. ...a fine jazz improviser who fell between cool jazz and hard bop". - Wikipedia
