Lovely composition, neat execution – one of my favourite moments happened towards the end where the bass once again comes forth from the backdrop in a fascinating exchange with the piano. After a long prelude that features solos from both musicians (yes, there is a bass solo!) the song settles into an unhurried waltz, keeping with the title. Bassist Naveen Napier joins Anil in Waltz For Sharik, a piece guest-composed by another pianist-composer Sharik Hasan that is clearly reflective of Sharik’s jazz sensibilities. The dark mood of the raga, combined with the heavy tone of the instrument, gives the song a particularly majestic sound. The man does that with aplomb, bringing raga sarasangi to life on the piano with some amazing improvisations over the seven minutes (nearly). Full credits at the end.Ĭomposer-pianist Anil Srinivasan features quite a few guest artists in his seven song album Touch, and Morning Mist is the only track which has the man going solo.
