Saturday Night in Bombay
Four pieces from a Bombay concert with guest Indian musicians.
Remember Shakti, 2001
Wikipedia gives June 19, 2001 in its infobox and November 2001 in its text; a listing gives 2002. AllMusic's listing, which we saw only in a search summary, dates the concerts to December 8 and 9, 2000 at Shanmukhananda Hall and Rang Bhavan. The core players invited many Indian musicians to two evenings, and one evening is preserved on the album. The core is Srinivas, Hussain, McLaughlin and Selvaganesh, with Shankar Mahadevan on voice, Debashish Bhattacharya on Hindustani slide guitar and Shivkumar Sharma on santoor among the guests, plus Sivamani on drums.
BBC Music Magazine called it a thrilling peak in the group's artistic endeavours. AllMusic gave 4 of 5 and the Penguin Guide 3 of 4. Jazz.com says it was nominated for a Grammy for Best World Music Album, though one source dates that to 2001, which seems early.
