Of Heaven & Earth - Jai-Jagdeesh CD
Jai-Jagdeesh's second major release is filled with the soul-stirring longing of the search for meaning in the life of a spiritual nomad. Her voice is big and bluesy, while having a surprising youthful innocence dancing through every note. These songs and mantras are beautifully robed in the sweet sounds of the sitar, violin, and bansuri flute, each of which is alternately playful and poignant. The soundscape is further supported by guitar (both electric and acoustic), bass, and a variety of percussion instruments (tabla, cajon, kit).
Standout tracks on this album include 'Light of Love,' 'In Dreams,' 'Ardas Bhaee,' and an exceptional, unique cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah.'
