I organized the concert of Sandip and Maya, and I have to say you've really got the event pegged. I'm still having people stop me on the street to tell me how beautiful, spiritual, mindboggling and world class the dancing and playing were. All the performers were uplifting and I can't wait to create another event like this one. Wow! I organized the concert of Sandip and Maya, and I have to say you’ve really got the event pegged.

The exposure looks just right. Not always easy to achieve in concert conditions. Well done. Nice shots, Richard. The exposure looks just right. Not always easy to achieve in concert conditions.

I wasn't sure that was him but I'm pretty sure it was. Never seen him perform (except for that DVD which I love) but I'd love to. John Marshall, my drum teacher and a tabla student has I'm sure.

I read a little about him in the new Kronos Quartet CD, You've Stolen My Heart: Songs from R.D. Burman's Bollywood. Hussain plays on that CD. He's the son of legendary tabla player Alla Rakha. http://www.momentrecords.com/zakir.html Richard, have you seen tabla master Zakir Hussain perform?

I have about 50 good keepers of the concert. Mamen: you'd have loved it. You already have a lot of experience with Indian music but maybe a bit less with this fusion stuff. This was traditional mixed with jazz. Simply amazing and perfectly pulled off. Jola: you're right, the team spirit of a well rehearsed and tight and supportive group is great to witness and a charismatic yet humble leader (Sandip is both) can help glue that together. Glad this site provides you with something unusual from time to time. One of the benefits of age (I'm old for a blogger), varied interests (I have too many for one person), and a bit of ego (I enjoy sharing my life with other people). Stay tuned, there was a Kathakali dancer at the event last night as well and I got amazing pictures of her.

I really enjoy your blog. Always something unexpected and fascinating that I would never have otherwise encountered. As necessary as poetry. And I mean that in a good way! Now THAT’s team spirit.

You've done a wonderful job of capturing the style and spirit of Sandip Burman. I'm envious that got to see this extraordinary musician in performance. I hope to as well someday.
