Tenth Decade - Live In Escondido

Shankar, Ravi

Composed by: Ravi Shankar

Cinematographer and director Alan Kozlowski presents an intimate look at a 91-year-old Ravi Shankar performing in southern California in October 2011. Kozlowski, known for his work on documentaries featuring the likes of Je# Bridges and Jackson Browne as well as feature !lms such as Travellers and Magicians, o#ers a uniquely personal perspective on Ravi Shankar. The !lmmaker has studied music with Ravi since 1978, and has produced a documentary honoring Ravi called Sangeet Ratna and co-produced with George Harrison a collection of Ravi’s work called In Celebration. The love of subject is clear in the !lm, but it’s Ravi’s raw and powerful performance that leaves the most lasting impression. Though Ravi has curtailed his busy touring schedule, his playing continues to draw intense praise. Songlines magazine says that the master has lost “absolutely nothing in the way of musical virtuosity, technical brilliance and the kind of high-energy passion that belongs in concert performances.” East Meets West Music is proud to release this important testament to a great artist simply unable to stop making transformative music.
