The quintet from Bengt Berger's much praised last album Beches Brew has grown to nine members in this live recording from two nights in Stockholm and Gothenburg. The mix of tradition and new modes of expression, as well as the impulses from some of the great traditions of the world, and the collective approach to ensembles and solo work shows a strong relationship to Charles Mingus' way of making music.

This live recording from 1968 of Shashi and Ravi Bellare will become a treasure for any tabla player. The compositions played are very rare and authentic. Both Shashi and Ravi play in a spontaneous and off the cuff fashion keeping the audience engrossed and on the edge until the sum of each composition. You will find yourself listening to this beautiful recording over and over again, each time finding something new.
