Re: Sitar Looping

[chrismandel@juno.com]

I'd start by listening to the trumpet player Cuong Vu.  He incorperates 
tons of looping and long delays in to free jazz.  On his album "Come Play 
with Me" either he or the bass player has something repeating nearly all 
the way through the CD, yet it never strays away from the genre (not that 
that would be a bad thing).  I guess this seems relivant to the sitar 
situation because like indian music, avant-guard jazz is nonminimalist and 
nonrepetitive.  Thats on the Knitting Factory label by the way.
