No speed of wind or water rushing by (The Master Speed by Robert Frost (1874-1963) composed in 1937) Robert Frost And I love Anindo Chatterjee's slow playing just as much, if not even more. We recorded four albums of piano and tabla duets that are unlike any previous East-West collaboration by far and away. These may be challenging for most listeners being so original and complex, including jazz and Indian classical music connesseurs accustomed to more conventional improvisations, but if one takes the time to acclimate these duets will reward the listener with new details and synergistic matter being noticed each time you listen. - Michael Robinson, May 2024, Los Angeles
