As piano players, we love playing Bach, exploring the perfect marriage of music, math and sonic architecture, and the dance of melody, rhythm and counterpoint. Suba sings the right hand and Dylan sings the left in this vocal version of Invention in C Major BWV 772.
Thanks to Phil Strong for commissioning this arrangement that we first debuted at his father’s virtual celebration of life.

My brother accidently noticed your exceptional sound of your band on the radio and thought it might interest me. And in fact, I was blown away by the uniqueness of the collective sound of the band as well as the beautiful sound individually of the singer's voice, the bass player and the tabla player! It was the find of the year for me, really amazed by the beauty of this music! Thank you so much! pavelsolodovnikov
Whether you take up the deep, reflective traditional songs with the charming ones and allow them to co-exist on the same album or allow them to stand separate is one's own choice, but I invite anyone reading this to experience everything with ears open and you'll surely enjoy what technical prowess and an infinitely open mind can do for music these days. Thanks to everyone who worked on these recordings; you've at least made a difference in my life, and hopefully in many others to come! Travis
