My East Is Your West

by Sarathy Korwar

supported by

Vik Srinivasan Such an intricate and gorgeous album Favorite track: Journey In Satchidananda.

Vikrant Kumar Thomas Junk Reflects the pure joy of musical interactions. Great choice of compositions without making it sound like a tribute. Favorite track: Earth.

Jah is Love Absolutely IMMENSE!! So multi-layered, like an intricately woven tapestry, soaring, stirring and absolutely electrifying, got genuine spine tingles on many occasions. The blend between “east” and “west” feels truly genre defining. Every track is a singular treasure, very hard to pick a favourite Favorite track: Earth.

Torsten Before the smashing More Arriving, Sarathy Korwar embarked on this inspiring project combining well known pieces from Western spiritual Greats such as Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders with traditional Indian songs. What a treat!

jazzy111s What an LP. It totally blew my mind, spiritually rich, beautiful & so so elegant. A must have for your collection.

about

日本語は英語の後に続きます。

"The classical musicians have a foot in improv; the jazz players get Indian music."
The Guardian, contemporary album of the month

"A record that transcends generic assumptions of the lazily termed “Eastern style”..."
The Vinyl Factory

"A truly enriching listen."
Songlines, ★★★★★

Off the back of Sarathy Korwar's much lauded Day To Day album comes the live album My East Is Your West - a performance that takes the fusion of Indian classical music with the jazz tradition further than its ever been before. Recorded live at London's Church Of Sound, the album is a homage to the great musicians of the 60s and 70s spiritual jazz movement, covering the likes of Alice Coltrane, Pharaoh Sanders, and Joe Henderson. Korwar plays alongside the UPAJ Collective, a group of highly-versatile musicians who share Sarathy's passion for jazz and Indian music and who have together managed to rebalance the cross-cultural relationship between 'Western' and 'Eastern' music.

With every record Sarathy releases his music becomes more exploratory and insightful, delving into his personal influences, which also inspire much of the music in the jazz scene that surrounds him. At a time where UK jazz is being heralded for its progression, innovation and far-reaching appeal to people from varying backgrounds, ‘My East Is Your West’ is an essential record that explores cultural and musical diversity in way that will continue to be relevant for years to come.

ロンドンを拠点にするインド人ジャズ・ドラマー/パーカッショニスト、サラティー・コールワール。アメリカに生まれ、南インドのチェンナイと西インドのアーメダバードで育ち、8 歳から北インド古典音楽の伴奏楽器であるタブラーを学び始めた。その後ジョン・コルトレーンやアーメッド・ジャマルなどのジャズに出会い、ジャズのドラムスにも手を伸ばした。ロンドンに移住した後、多国籍な音楽家たちと出会い、自らの音楽性を探し始めた。
そんな彼がUKジャズを支える若き音楽家たち11名による大所帯グループ<サラティー・コールワール・アンド・ウパジ・コレクティヴ>を結成し完成させたのが、今作『マイ・イースト・イズ・ユア・ウェスト』だ。
2018年2月、イースト・ロンドンのローワー・クラプトンにある聖ジェームズ教会にて行なわれたライヴの模様を収録した今作内では、素晴らしいソロが絶え間なく流れているが、とりわけAravindhan Baheerathan(バンスリー)、 Jasdeep Singh Degun(シタール)、Aditya Prakash(ボーカル)、そしてB C Manjunath (パーカッション)、John Ball(サントゥール、タブラ)といったインドのマスター・ミュージシャンたちの活躍がみられる。そして、アルト・サックス奏者ジェシー・バニスターが登場し、インドのクラシック音楽の中でも最も古いラーガの作品の一つである「Malkauns」の新たな境地へと我々を連れていってくれる。全ての指揮をとっているのはコールワールであり、その夜がドン・チェリーの「Desireless」の荘厳なヴァージョンである「Utopia and Visions」と共にクライマックスに向かう。
ジャズとインド音楽が合わさる時が来ると、ダイナミックなパワーと共に本能的な変化が起こる。この活力に満ちたグループでは、ジャズ・ミュージシャンとインドのクラシック音楽のミュージシャンが同数でフィーチャーされているため、我々がよくアルバムで耳にする”イースタン”という音響効果としての形式的なシタールやタブラは存在しない。あの晩、そしてこのレコードで選ばれた曲の数々は、インド人と西洋人両方の作曲家を包含している。サラティー・コールワールがそれらのミュージシャンたちの伝統を繋ぎ、より深く掘り下げようとしていたことは、最初に奏でられる音からも明確に伝わって来るだろう。

スピリチュアル・ジャズの名曲たちを取り上げ、ジャズにインドの古楽器を取り入れたミクスチャー・サウンドを構築している今作。既存のファンにも、コールワール初心者にも、もってこいの一枚と言えるだろう。
