One of the best albums ever recorded by collaborating artists, "Dark Clouds"is a true masterpiece performed by two of the world's finest artists, Tabla player and singer Cassius Khan and famed pianist Stu Goldberg.
Their mastery is incredible, with interludes of piano and rushing torrents of tabla, vocals and a couple of sweeter numbers by singer Jennifer Lauren, the album is well balanced and well recorded.
Cassius Khan is the tabla equivalent to Stu Goldberg, and Goldberg of course being the famed keyboardist with the Mahavishnu Orchestra back in the day, is as bright and as bold as ever in this mindblowing collaboration.Cassius Khan is also a famed tabla player and singer, whose name has reached Europe and the South Pacific.In my professional opinion, Cassius Khan is one of the best multi talented musicians in the world,a class of his own, with a unique and incredible tabla and singing style.He's the only one on the entire planet who can play tablas and sing at the same time!
I strongly recommend everyone to buy and listen to their album.My favourites are the Ragamala piece in track 1 and the tabla solo in track 4 with Khan's singing afterwards.It will send chills down your spine.
