about

Another piece from the first recording sessions, Dharana is one of the eight limbs of Yoga meaning 'one pointed concentration'. The basic idea was improvised on a live 'Free Jazz' gig I did one night. Based on a 6-note scale using two major triads a half step apart (G and F# concert), for a while I called this tune 'six-note'. Later, a minor seventh (E) was added because it seemed to need it. At the recording session I tried to give the players in the large ensemble 'roles' but not complete written parts. Amit Chaterjee overdubbed a great Sitar part for us much later.
