Jemand hier Interesse an einer #Sitar? Habe eine abzugeben. Nicht das hochwertigste Instrument, aber gut für den Alltagsgebrauch. Kiste gibt's dazu. Müsste bespannt werden. Und ist etwas unhandlich, müsste also irgendwie in Berlin oder Hamburg abgeholt werden.

In San Francisco is a live album by Hindustani classical musician Ravi Shankar. It was released in 1967 on vinyl.

In San Francisco Review by Matthew Greenwald

On Ravi Shankar's World Pacific sides, the longer ragas were usually the highlight. These contained the true essence of Indian music: long, undulating ragas that slowly evolved and built in intensity. Unfortunately, there was usually only room for one on each album (if that); however, Live in San Francisco contains three extended pieces and is perhaps his best World Pacific album. Accompanied by Alla Rakha on tabla, Shankar shows his rhythmic grace and sheer stamina on these performances, to a live audience's delight. Recorded at the San Francisco Civic Auditorium at a time (about 1967) when consciousness in Indian music was growing at an incredible rate...

Ended the weekend and welcomed the week after my swim with In India by Paul Horn, released on World Pacific Records in 1967.

Paul Horn in India sees him playing with tabla, tamboura, vichitra veena and violin (Satya Dev Pawar) on a series of seven traditional ragas

This is the cover of the LP version of the tape I picked up in a bargain bin back in the 80s for £1, having never heard of any of the artists. The tape has long since snapped, as cassette tapes tend to do, but given my lifelong love of the music, it was a good investment!

Ended the week and welcomed the weekend with Indo-Jazz Fusions by the Joe Harriott - John Mayer Double Quintet, released on Columbia in 1967.

..Reedman Joe Harriott and his trumpeter Shake Keane both brought a fresh West Indian sensibility to the London scene in the 50s -- and violinist/keyboardist John Mayer brought some very strong expressions from Indian music -- both of which are blended here in an amazing way that went onto have a huge influence on other records for years to come! The tracks are long, and all penned by Mayer -- in a mode that draws heavily from Indian classical music, but features lots of jazz elements...Mayer plays both violin and harpsichord -- amidst sitar, tambura, and tablas too - Dusty Groove

Picked this combined with the previous LP from '66 up on a bargain bin on cassette back in the 80s!

Easy Does It is the third solo album by American singer-songwriter Al Kooper, recorded and released in 1970 for Columbia Records.

A double album, Easy Does It featured Kooper on an expanded number of instruments, including sitar (used to effect on the country-tinged "Sad, Sad Sunshine"), vibes and electronic effects. While mostly backed by Bretheren rhythm section Stu Woods and Rick Marotta, Kooper also utilized groups in Nashville and Los Angeles to record the tracks for the album.

Two tracks were also featured on the soundtrack to the 1970 counter-culture film, The Landlord, "Brand New Day" and "Love Theme from The Landlord" - Wikipedia

Ended Monday and welcomed Tuesday after a swim with Indo-Jazz Suite by The Joe Harriott Double Quintet, released in 1966 on Columbia

Indo-Jazz Suite Review by Thom Jurek

...This work, written and directed by Mayer, offered the closest ever collaboration and uniting of musics East and West. Based almost entirely in the five-note raga -- or tonic scale that Indian classical music emanates from -- and Western modalism, the four ragas that make up the suite are a wonder of tonal invention and modal complexity, and a rapprochement to Western harmony. The band Harriott assembled here included his own group -- pianist Pat Smythe, bassist Coleridge Goode, and drummer Allan Ganley -- as well as trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, flutist Chris Taylor, Diwan Mothar on sitar, Chandrahas Paiganka on tamboura, and Keshan Sathe on tabla, with Mayer playing violin and Harriott on his alto...
