Review of "Mondo Garaj"
|
his perfectly good American jam band with jazz smarts takes things to the next exciting level when looking to the land south of the Himalayas about half the time on their first studio album. Fareed Haque, of Pakistani blood
roots, lets loose with his considerable imagination as guitarist and composer - "Beware My Ethnic Heart" rekindles the Mahavishnu inner mounting flame and three more of his songs reach the ears in a terrific surge of
well-played sitar guitar, bass (Kai Eckhardt), drums (Alan Hertz) and keyboards (Eric Levy). The band is worthy of the touching of the guru's feet.
3 1/2 stars.
