New Release! Nine Decades Vol. 4: A Night at St. John the Divine

On August 6, 1976, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his first US concert appearance, Ravi Shankar organized a dusk ‘til dawn concert at the historic St. John the Divine cathedral in New York City. The concert, featuring many acts of the day and several virtuosos of the Indian classical world, ended at dawn with an extended set from the Maestro. To mark the 60th anniversary of his first introduction to the West, EMWMusic is proud to release his remastered concert as the fourth installment of our Nine Decades series. Accompanied by the great Alla Rakha on Tabla, the tracks, including Cathedral Multani and Cathedral Vachaspati, are pure improvisational mastery!
