Veils Of Lightcertainly accomplishes that; it seamlessly gildes in and out of a range of cultures and civilizations including Balkans, the Middle East, and Central Asia, and features the fantastically detailed drum and string work of this incredibly talented multi-instrumentalist. The acoustic aesthetic and crystal clear production values on Veils of Light bestow a beautifully subtle sultriness to it; Tim seems to understand that because his compositions are so highly patterned and vibrant, there's no need to overstate the case. And in an era of hyped-up Hollywood glamour, this distinctly authentic exoticism is a very welcome thing. Check this one out today. Show more Show less

Venu is the ancient Sanskrit name for the bamboo flute that is today called bansuri. On this album, recorded live in 1974 at the Stone House in Fairfax, California, the bansuri is played by Indian classical instrumentalist Hariprasad Chaurasia. Chaurasia is joined by tabla player Zakir Hussain, one of the world's leading virtuosos of Indian classical percussion and son of Alla Rakha (1919-2000), a tabla player best known for his long association with Ravi Shankar. Together, Chaurasia and Hussain express the intricacies and subtleties for which Indian music is renowned. Venu was issued in 1989 as part of “THE WORLD” series (now part of the Mickey Hart Collection made available by Smithsonian Folkways).
