A musical journey celebrating the 20th Anniversary of this remarkable musician.

As a world class virtuoso, Trilok has collaborated with some of the greatest jazz and world music artists of today, many of whom feature on this brand new 2CD collection presenting 20 of his finest recordings, including two previously unissued tracks.

Twenty Years of Talking Tabla is a 20 year journey through Trilok Gurtu's career. Rita Ray of BBC Radio described him as "a serial collaborator" - this carefully chosen compilation shows exactly that side of him. As a world class virtuoso, now in his mid fifties, Trilok has attracted a world class set of collaborators; these started with John McLaughlin in whose trio Trilok flourished as the featured soloist for 4 years, other jazz greats continued this path - Joe Zawinul, Jan Garbarek, Don Cherry, Pharoah Sanders were all attracted to Trilok's burning sense of rhythm. Of course he is deeply rooted in the Indian tradition, so it is no surprise to see that collaborations also took place with the glitterati of Indian musical society - his mother, Shobha Gurtu, Zakir Hussain, L. Shankar, Shankar Mahadevan and Sultan Khan. World music has become an established genre in which Trilok has further "ploughed his own furrow" to great effect, collaborating with Salif Keita, Oumou Sangare, Angelique Kidjo, Neneh Cherry, Tuvan throat singers Huun Huur Tu, the Malian musicians from the Frikywa family and the Italian, Arke String Quartet.

Trilok is obviously obsessed with colours, tones and rhythms while never neglecting melody, and as such, he is a musician who brings passion, vision and craft to his compositions and performances that make them immediately accessible.
