“The close derivation of Raga Pancham Kosh from Raga Malkauns is exploited here to switch to the latter raga for the dhrupad proper. The latter is of course an older raga with more significant compositions. Although the items are listed separately on the CD, there is only one actual track”

    Can’t wait to check these out. I had never heard any Rudra Veena stuff until the other day, and I’m really digging it. Thanks so much!

    (sorry for posting this to the comments but I don’t have Jefre’s personal email)

    Hey Jefre! Yup, I live in Toronto now but come home to Fremont often to see my family. I’ve been playing music a lot…quiet improvisation with the autoharp. I also have a little record label. I’ve put out an LP by Tetuzi Akiyama/Jeffrey Allport, a CD of Angharad Davies/Jeffrey Allport/myself, and soon an LP of Bonnie Jones/Liz Tonne/Chris Cogburn. Hit me up chandann@gmail.com.
