Shankar Tucker plays a richly warm clarinet, nice and woody, and he combines it well with instruments, vocals and rhythms from India. Intricate reed lines on “Come, My Belived!” mix with percussion and Ankita Joshi’s lovely nasal vocals, while mystical moods from the licorice stick and guitar team up with tabla and cello on “The Heart’s Prayer.” A four part “Suite for the Moon” mixes Central Asian percussion with a string section, harmonium, improvising guitar and reed to create a spicy curry of sounds, while Tucker creates a dreamy rubato on his solo of “Meditation.” HN Bhaskar’s violin mixes Middle Eastern moods on “Alaap” and sounds of the sunset on “Liberation” feature plaintive guitar, piano and vocals by Vidya Iyer to glow along with Tucker’s penetrating tone. A record to cherish.
