about

"Drawing freely from Hindustani classical, delta blues and jazz without being bound by them, what’s noteworthy about Songs of Universal Peace is how naturally Hammond and Nair blend these traditions and depart from them."
-Isaac Olson, Dusted Magazine

"Today's recommendation...Spiritual music fusing the traditions of India and Appalachia..."
-Ted Gioia via Twitter

"Prepare to be moved."
-Alex Cline, percussionist

"OK, it isn't jazz, but this might be the most beautiful thing I've heard this new millennium."
-Mark Corroto, All About Jazz

"There’s a meditative quality to the songs, which mix elements including raga, Americana and jazz."
-Aaron Carnes, Sacramento Bee

"...improvisational music influenced by Appalachian folk and Indian devotional musics."
-The Union (Nevada County)

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson

supported by 5 fans who also own “Songs of Universal Peace”

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
