A Lark Ascending Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Noticed this in this month's fRoots: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U._Srinivas I'm only an occasional listener in the musical area he worked in but remember him making a big stir outside the world of Indian classical music in the 90s and playing his CD a great deal. He was also in Remember Shakti with John McLaughlin at one stage. Only in his mid-40s; way too young. R.I.P.

7/4 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Sad news. He died a few weeks ago, complications from a liver transplant. Only 45! I love the album Dream he did with Michael Brook on Real World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryCurleyMoe Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 WOW! Sad news indeed. I was honored to emcee his SPICKMAKAY recital here many years ago. He was a master of Carnaric Classical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Very sad indeed - saw the group live once, a few years back, and he was pretty fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Way too young! RIP. I believe he is on "Miles from India" which I still like very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
