Notes on back cover -"ALL THAT IS BEST FROM EAST AND WEST"
A LIVE RECORDING WITH TOP INTERNATIONAL MUSICIANS !!
Composed, arranged and conducted by India'a Renaissance Man Pandit Ravi Shankar.
A living legend. Unquestionably India's most famous musician and composer. One of the greatest geniuses of the world.
"In this composition I have tried to explore the meeting ground and the interaction between the classical and folk music of India on one hand, and Jazz, on the other. I have named it 'Jazzmine'. My aim in these pieces has been to extract, that is to say, 'mine' the spirit of Jazz and wrap it in the fragrance of the jasmine flower, which is uniquely Indian. The result is 'My Jazz' or 'Jazzmine'." - Pandit Ravi Shankar
