Concert DVD

[ajay]

Hi, I'm looking forward to picking up my MM Blues from the guys at Busker, which I'm using on set of recordings of Acoustic Blues/Indian material. Robin mentioned your gig in London a couple of months back where you were accompanied by tabla and (possibly) Mohan Veena. Gutted I missed it... Are you looking to release a recording or DVD?

Thanks

Ajay

Hi Ajay,

Welcome to our forum.

I did a concert in September with my good friend, Mumbai-based Mohan Veena player, Manish Pingle, and London-based Tabla player, Gurdain Rayatt. The show was filmed and recorded and is currently being edited and mastered for release as a DVD/CD package.

Here is a thread about it.... michaelmesser.proboards.com/thread/6183/michael-messer-manish-pingle-concert?page=3

I am sure you will be happy with your MM Blues. Thank you for ordering it.

I am interested to hear about your Blues/Indian project...?

Shine On

Thanks Michael,

Funnily enough I dropped an email to Manish a couple of weeks back about possible Mohan Veena lessons – small world!

I began writing Blues based lyrics around raag Jog using just Tanpura/drone. It led to a whole load of material... which when I added a friend's resonator made for an amazing sound. So I’m excited about my London-Llanegryn road trip to acquire the best one around!

Best
Ajay

Hi Ajay,

That sounds like a great project. I look forward to hearing it.

Manish is a fantastic musician and an excellent teacher, so you're in good hands there!

Enjoy your Llanegryn road trip

Thanks,

Shine On
Michael

I used a tanpura droid on the opening number of my set today - worked really well.
BTW, I heard some of Ajays tunes recently - great work!
