Notes

Originally released in 1987 on the Private Music label (which was founded by Peter Baumann of Tangerine Dream).

From the original sleevenotes:

"The Ravi Shankar Project" combines the rich texture of traditional Indian instrumentation with the modern technology of synthesizers and digital sampling keyboards. Tana Mana, which means "body and mind", mirrors Ravi's ability to create a dynamic blend of the old and the new. It is an imaginative recording which Ravi believes will appeal to the widest range of music lovers, from fans of classical to progressive to jazz.

Comments and Reviews


JPGR&B SUBS 15th Aug 2015		This album features George Harrison on auto harp and synthesizer, Ray Cooper on marimba and Al Kooper on guitar. Alan Robinson, who wrote the text in the booklet for the re-released CD, notes that the track Friar Park is named after George Harrison's estate in Oxfordshire and is based on Raga Charukeshi. It features Ravi Shankar and standard and bass sitars. The track was recorded at George's home studio, along with a local tabla player, Markandeya Mishra, and with marimba played by esteemed Brit session percussionist, Ray Cooper. Starting as a very still piece, the introduction of Cooper's marimba and then tabla injects a sense of pace and dynamic range, the interplay between Shankar and George's autoharp and synthesizer building to rapturous heights. Friar Park - enjoy the track and the accompanying photos of Friar Park and George.
