Shankar Jaikishan / Rais Khan ?- Raga Jazz Style

Original 1968 first press on heavy black vinyl. Great condition !

This legendary 1968 EMI recording is a revered Indian jazz rarity; a collectors’ holy grail.
Raga Jazz Style is an original Indian excursion into Indo-jazz fusion. A one-away recording from the almost unknown Bombay jazz scene, it is among the few jazz LPs to hail from the subcontinent.
Bombay’s jazz modernists had been experimenting with the fusion of ragas and jazz since the 1950s, long before American or British jazz musicians had tuned in to Indian classical music. But very little of this exciting scene was ever captured on record. Raga Jazz Style offers a rare chance to hear the innovative sounds of the Indian jazz scene, as peerless composers Shankar Jaikishan and arranging supremo D’Souza join with veteran Bombay jazzers to explore classical indian themes in a jazz setting — eleven ragas to a swinging beat !
