World music and new age musician Jai Uttal has released his first all instrumental album, Gauri’s Lullaby. Following his double album, Roots Rock Rama!, Jai’s 21st recording comes as a direct response to the current global crisis. The album consists of four long acoustic guitar meditations, inspired by Jai’s many years of study with Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.
The four songs on Gauri’s Lullaby: Music for Healing and Other Joys were created over a period of about seven years as birthday presents for Jai’s wife, Nubia Teixeira, a noted yogi and author, to use in her home yoga practice as well as in her many classes.
Uttal released several successful world music album in the 1990s where he fused Indian music with western music, including Footprints and Monkey.
