Garaj Mahal

When you hear your first Garaj Mahal note, leading into an innovative fusion of funky jazz with a tasty world music flare, all other thoughts leave your mind, as the music takes you on an unforgettable voyage. Fans return almost compulsively to hear Garaj Mahal because they know they will always hear something new, progressive and audience-involved from these four first-class musicians.

Garaj Mahal - Blueberry Cave CD

leeway — Wed, 26 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0400

Driving on my way to work this afternoon, the sun is finally shining, and my ride is going to be accompanied by the funky jazz-rock influenced grooves of Garaj Mahal. The first track, "The Shadow," would alone be worth the price of this album, for it takes you on an over 9-minute journey.

Up All Night: Jammin' to The Talking Heads

One must approach Tribute CDs with extreme levels of caution. There is perhaps no more dangerous bridge to cross as a music buyer. Sometimes it works out OK - pleasant enough jazz and bluegrass tributes have been produced – but it always threatens to wander into the realm of pointlessness. Is there really an audience for A String Quartet Tribute To The Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Dub Tribute To Limp Bizkit? What niche of music lovers is so refined and unknown that it deserves A Rockabilly Tribute To AC/DC? It’s hard to take these tributes seriously sometimes, but that’s OK. I like to think that the musicians and producers and listeners aren’t looking for a galvanizing experience, but maybe to witness the whimsical oddity of, say, Coldplay performed bluegrass-style.

Fareed Haque Group - Cosmic Hug

Mixing cultures here but hey, it’s all in the musical family. Led Zeppelin reached a key summit with their 1975 release “Physical Graffiti.” In retrospect, this Moroccan album via the Flames of Albion overshadowed their mysterious ‘Runes’ album, which contained “Stairway” and the blues masterpiece of production and sound “When the Levee Breaks.” Graffiti featured the ethereal trance classic “Kashmir.” Lead vocalist Robert Plant, lead guitarist and chief Zep mystic Jimmy Page – rock music’s most talented studio producer - and former Page band mate, Jeff Beck, have all sited this song as the definitive Bonham-Jones-Page-Plant pearl. The rest of the album wasn’t chopped liver, either…Custard Pie, The Rover, In My Time of Dying, Trampled Underfoot, In the Light, Ten Years Gone, The Wanton Song, Sick Again - need I continue?
