Thanks for all the thought and passion that has clearly gone into this. I'll do some searching around tomorrow and let you know what I end up with. |
Hirs,
You struck a chord with me when you mentioned Ravi Shankar..I am
a student and love improvisation myself..and these are some of the
basics and foundations to improv. for all musicians including the Dead
to Coltrane who have been influenced by the Raga form.
A Love Supreme ..a master work by John Coltrane was based on a Raga
Eight Miles High by the Byrds....was based on a opening Raga melody
Dave: If that one doesn't do it for you that one is a bit more
mellow and introspective..so don't give up on that one.
Also when listening to a Raga hang in there ..they mostly start
out slow and then build up in the middle to a showcase
of speed and agility.
and thank you for your kind words,
