Adidam Sacred Music Guild – Baba Da’s Great Tradition (WorldWide Records, 2007)
The acoustic music on this CD was spontaneously improvised by musicians from the Adidam Sacred Music Guild in the presence of “The Avataric Great Sage,” Adi Da Samraj, during his visit to the United States in 2005. The musicians’ backgrounds include Indian classical, Western classical and jazz.
The 10 tracks have no specific names other than Improvisation. The ones which stand out include Improvisation No. 3 with its fine blend of sarod, piano and flute, and Improvisation No. 10 woven around a bhajan.
