Conceived by violinist John Mayer and alto saxophonist Joe Harriott, this project attempts a strict structural integration of a western jazz quintet with a traditional Indian ensemble. The compositions alternate between composed modal themes and improvisational passages based on specific ragas, establishing early Indo-jazz fusion.
