In December, I sent the post referencing the fusion band Junun that is set forth below. In response, one of my classmates recommended that I take a listen to a band by the name of Red Baraat. And yes, after doing so, I found the music and energy that comes from listening to Red Baraat to be both surprising and refreshing. This same Red Baraat plays tonight at the San Francisco Jazz Center and I had intended to go and hear them play. Unfortunately, I find that my body would much rather go home and sleep than to go to the Jazz Center and dance. And so, it is homeward to sleep that I go. However, for those of you who are more energetic than I, I commend you to Red Baraat who will next be in Portland, Seattle, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and New York City over the next ten days. And to all who may be reading this, please also read
and then listen to what is probably Red Baraat's best tune
Peace,

Sometimes one can be transported to another time and place without ever leaving home.
