Phil Lawrence and Lisa Sangita Moskow Mandolin Ragas April 3, 2010

Free improvisations on American fiddle tunes and original compositions on mandolin, tabla, and sarod, influenced by Indian classical music. The mandolin will weave in and around classic melodies above the trance-like drone of an electronic tanpura with tabla accompaniment. The goal is to imagine how Ravi Shankar would have played Old Joe Clark or Cluck Old Hen if Ravi Shankar played the mandolin. Lisa Sangita Moskow will also play sarod and chant.
