Anyway, this is a killer record! Another record with sax and tablas is: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 159 - EXPLORATIONS: Subroto Roy Chowdhury, Steve Lacy 1/ Saxoraga (Lacy, Ray, Martin) 10:19 2/ Spontaneity (SRC, SR, PM) 11:32 3/ Explorations (SL, SRC, SR, PM) 22:33 Recorded at Tonstudio Bauer, Ludwigsburg, on April 21 and 22, 1987 Subroto Roy Chowdhury: sitar; Steve Lacy: soprano; Shibsankar Ray: tabla; Patricia Martin: tanpura. 1987 - Jazz Point (Germany), JP 1020 (LP) 1987 - Jazz Point (Germany), jp 1020 (CD) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrice.

Its a while since I heard it but I seem to remember that Charlie Haden is hot on that session. In particular track 2 has a piledriver bass line. Richard Gardner

Deaf and Ache are OK but Hole and Nail I rate as 2 of the best albums ever. The later ones became patchy but they always had gems in there. Ramrod and Stumbo - simply wonderful. It was a defining moment for me watching rock concerts when, in 1988, at the Town and Country Club, London someone threw a bottle at Mr Thirlwell and, without a pause, he stepped off the stage and in to the crowd to sort the miscreant out. I hadn't felt that level of zing in the air since I saw Bob Dylan facing a howling audience in 1966. But that rather dates me!! Richard Gardner

All help will be most appreciated. Ned Rothenberg is playing some fine saxophone with tabla player Samir Chatterjee on his recording snyc. There is also Jerome Harris on bass, so I'm not sure if it has any duos on it. But it's a great recording anyway, worth checking. martin

sounds like the Dolphy record yer thinkin of is Other Aspects, which has tablas on one number. But the closest thing to an alto solo is a duet with Ron Carter on bass. It's been a while since I listenened to it, but I think he actually plays flute on the tablas piece. on the original question: I've got a duo record with Golparnath and tablas, but I wouldn't say it runs the gamut of sax noise -- it's more in a traditional Indian style. The Braxton sounds like the most likely choice so far. Although, if it's just 'hand drums' and not tablas, it probably could be a billion different records. There's some nice stuff on the Brotzmann/Drake duos. --- slew-mo elbo >From: Manolis <papagian(a)nat.vu.nl> >To: zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com, proussel(a)ichips.intel.com >Subject: Re: saxophones & tablas >Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 19:17:34 +0200 > >Patrice L.

Braxton dueting with Abraham Adzinyah? The album is 'Duo (Wesleyan) 1994.' Two long (40+ min) pieces if I recall...
