A Meeting By The River (45rpm-edition) - Plak

ENGLISH

American composer, musicologist and guitar legend Ry Cooder teams with North Indian musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt to create an exquisite musical realm, with both musicians playing exceptional slide guitar. Their collaboration evokes musical elements from many cultures and styles. Percussion by Sukhvindar Singh on tabla and Cooder's 14-year-old son Joachim on dumbek. This recording won a Grammy Award.

» ... Astonishingly, the four conversational yet adventurous tracks captured on 'A Meeting by the River' were unrehearsed jams between the two masters, who had met only minutes before the session. The lesson is that Cooder and Bhatt not only knew how to play, but how to listen.« – Daniel Durchholz, Stereophile, February 2007
