Product Description

The Observer Music Monthly, 50 Essential CDs from Around the World, June 2008

On which the extraordinary tabla player was joined by flautist Hariprasad Chaurasia, guitarist McLaughlin, and saxophonist Garbarek to mesmeric effect.

CD Description

Zakir Hussain is a poet of the tabla, but as this album makes clear, his interests extend far beyond Indian classical music. He's joined here by an international cast of players, each of whom lends a different influence to the proceedings.While the dynamic remains largely on the low end, preserving the music's meditative quality, there are elements of jazz(Jan Garbarek's liquid sax lines) and folk (John McLaughlin's pastoral acoustic guitar). These more Western influences contrast nicely with Hussain's tablas, which seem to tell a slowly unfolding story to the listener. Famed flautist Hariprasad Chaurasia navigates the middle ground between Garbarek's jazzy explorations and the traditional Indian bent of Hussain. While MAKING MUSIC would fit comfortably alongside thelanguid, atmospheric jazz that makes up the bulk of ECM's catalogue, Hussain's music is a singular animal--an utterly unique hybrid.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most perfect album I have ever heard, 19 Aug 2000
By DatingMan (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Genuinely beautiful, graceful, lyrical, calming. This is my favourite album of all time for good reasons. From John McLaughlin's wonderful opening chord, through the rippling Water Girl and moments of ecstatic musical discovery in Sunjog and Zakir. It's difficult to comprehend how the humble human being can create something so perfect and extraordinary. Truly inspired.
