From the archives of WREK

Very different show lined up for today, we'll start with some vinyl for the day. Lots of stuff back here in the vault at WREK, and this is just a little taste of what's inside. We start with Raag Mishra Maand - Pandit Nikhil Banerjee on the sitar, Ali Akbar Khan on the sarod and Mahapurush Mishra playing the tabla.

The next track is one of Zakir Hussain's many collaborations with John McLaughlin. As always the line-up is phenomenal - Zakir Hussain (percussion), Hariprasad Chaurasia (flute), John Mclaughlin (acoustic guitar) and Jan Garbarek (saxophone); this is a lovely track titled Anisa, of the album Making Music.

Our next track is on CD, and it features Ustad Ali Ahmad Hussain Khan on the Shehnai, titled Raag Jhinjoti from the album Serenity. The final track for the evening is by Zakir Hussain, Bela Fleck, and Edgar Meyer, with a title as unusual as the line-up. It's called Bubbles from the album Melody of Rhythm.
