Priyagitah: The Nightingale is instrumental world music and new age music perfect for yoga.
Although Steve Gorn and Benjy Wertheimer had not yet met, theyd been hearing about each other for nearly 20 years. Finally, in January of 2001, Krishna Das invited them both to Los Angeles to record on his CD, Breath of the Heart.
During breaks in the recording schedule, they instantly began to play together. Music without words...esraj and flute weaving the melodic contours of a raga . . . flute and tabla meeting in a spontaneous rhythmic dance. It was clearly the beginning of a deep and powerful musical relationship. Their bond and mutual respect grew as they toured the Northwest in 2002-03, and culminated with this exquisite recording of Indian ragas, along with the final track Priyagitah, an original piece for esraj and clarinet.
