Brij Bhushan Kabra is the greatest slide guitarist in the world. He is an innovator on par with Charlie Christian, Jimi Hendrix, Django Reinhardt, or Andreas Segovia. Kabra single-handedly adapted the guitar to technical and emotional intricacies of North Indian Classical Music during the late 50's and early 60's. Today he has recorded more than a dozen Indian LP record releases and is one of the most popular concert artists. Aside from a mid-60's release on the World Pacific label, now long out-of-print, this is the first album to be readily available in the west. all listeners should be astounded by his technical brilliance and seemingly impossible control and speed as a slide guitarist. But please listen also to the great emotional depth and expressiveness of his playing.................... The alap portion of the performance, without tabla drums, lends itself especially well to the subtleties of his long expressive slides and astonishingly fast runs. - Henry Kaiser
