A decade later, It took the Beatles to catapult Indian music to the forefront of public awareness and make the sound of the sitar a common feature of popular culture in the West. Their engagement with the ancient classical music of the subcontinent started an avalanche of similar experiments in the rock and pop world, engendering what Ravi Shankar called 'the Sitar Explosion'. For a while, the sitar or some other element from Indian music was increasingly heard in the background of general texture of recordings by many famous British groups: the Rolling Stones, Traffic, Kinks, Yardbirds, to name but a few, while musicians working in the domestic folk-rock field such as Pentangle, the Incredible String Band, and the guitarist Davy Graham also picked up on it. In the United States, aspects of Indian music would be absorbed both by such psychedelic bands as The Byrds, The Doors, Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane and by composers of new music, the minimalists: Terry Riley, La Monte Young, Steve Reich and Philip Glass. But Western fascination with Orientalism was not entirely new; it's piquancy is evident in the works of such impressionists as Claude Debussy, Benjamin Britten and Maurice Ravel, a composer considered to be the father of Exotica, whose sound world is at the heart of the works of Exotica's most formidable icons, Les Baxter and Martin Denny. This presentation comprises key recordings by major Western jazz, exotica and classical artists under the spell of Indian music and culture, combined with the long, perfumed recordings by Ravi Shankar and his Indian contemporaries which most influenced them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSindhi Bhairavi (Morning Raga) - Ravi Shankar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sextet India - John Coltrane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Favorite Things - John Coltrane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Raag Yaman Kalyan: Teen Tala (Evening Raga) – Ali Akbar Khan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Calcutta Blues - Dave Brubeck Quartet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e New Delhi - Cannonball Adderley Quintet Plus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e New Delhi - Victor Feldman Quartet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Left Alone - Eric Dolphy Quintet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Darbari Kanada (Alap ; Gat In Teentaal) (Deep Night Raga) - Sharan Rani\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e India - Sun Ra And His Arkestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lonely Woman - Ornette Coleman Quartet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mirage For Miles – Paul Horn Quintet Featuring Emil Richards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Milestones - Miles Davis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Modal - Joe Harriott Quintet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Miyan Ki Malhar (Rainy Season Raga) – Ustad Vilayat Khan ; Ustad Imrat Khan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e El Toro – Chico Hamilton Quintet Featuring Gabor Szabo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tabla Solo (Tritala Rhythm) - Chatur Lal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ecos Jerezanos (Echoes From Jerez) - Sabicas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Dance – Yusef Lateef\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Before Dawn – Yusef Lateef\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jalsaghar (The Music Room) - Title Music – Ustad Vilayat Khan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Teen Kanya (Three Girls) - Satyajit Ray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Teen Kanya - Title Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Fateful Night (Monihara)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mrinmoyee Sad (Samapti)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Improvisation On The Theme Of Pather Panchali  - Ravi Shankar ; Bud Shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Black Narcissus - Title Music - Brian Easdale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Black Narcissus - Kanchi's Dance - Brian Easdale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Moonlight On The Ganges – Martin Denny\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Harem Silks From Bombay – Les Baxter's Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Left Arm Of Buddha - Les Baxter's Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Prince Of The Pagodas: Water Dances (Excerpt) - Benjamin Britten\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Ugly Girl Empress Of The Pagodas From Ma Mere L'oye - Maurice Ravel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ondine From Gaspard De La Nuit - Maurice Ravel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Quatre Poèmes Hindous - Maurice Delage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Madras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lahore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Benarès\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jaipur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Voiles From Préludes For Piano - Book One - Claude Debussy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pagodes From Estampes For Piano – Claude Debussy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Romanian Folk Dances For Piano - Béla Bartók\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50522451476754,"sku":"5013929335431","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/west-meets-east-indian-music-its-influence-on-the-west-various-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
