Raga for the Rainy Season

Pran (Powers and Dempster)

Greg Powers- trombones
Stuart Dempster-
brass digeridu

Two Americans fusing European and Australian Aboriginal instruments in the tradition of Asian Indian Dhrupad music. Sonorous, droning, raga-sounding pieces that unfold gracefully, as if they had all the time in the world. If Hindustani music practitioners settle a planet, their descendants might sound like this in concert. For patient listeners only, it’s a cd that makes "out there" no longer a tired cliché. Stunning: yielding and yet unyielding.  - Richard Grooms
