Sunny Jain Collective As Is CD RARE OOP Sep-2002 NCM East Records NEW

Description: Drummer Sunny Jain creates a rich palette on this debut release, blending jazz aesthetics with sounds drawn from his Indian-American heritage -- and even some rock-inspired beats for good measure. Guitarist Rez Abbasi, tenor saxophonist Steve Welsh, and bassist Gary Wang are on hand to shape the music with their strong personalities. This is, in fact, one of the first recordings to feature Abbasi's fascinating exploration of the sitar-guitar, which he plays on a wild version of Wayne Shorter's "Masqualero" and several other tracks. Welsh contributes to the sonic maze by altering his sax with electronic effects at just the right moments. Jain's originals are among the key highlights: Both "Horizontal Pathway" and "Mango Festival" involve tempo and feel changes that take the listener on a bracing journey. Jain also offers adaptations of "Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram" and "Aap Jaisa Koi," the latter a South Asian pop hit from the 1980s. Welsh weighs in with the title track and the lovely "MTA," and Abbasi revisits his "Blu Vindaloo," from the Modern Memory album, at a significantly brighter tempo.
