Note
Original format: 1/4" open-reel audio
Donor notes: No box. 5 in reel. "Sitar with Congas + flute violin ???" written on label on reel. Side 1 is a guitar duo, followed by a boroque-sounding ensemble. . Soft, folksy stuff. Juma can't place it, though wonders if it could be from California or a guitarist from Albany. Second cut is 2 violins, percussion and keyboard. 3rd is violin, electric bass, piano and drums - sort of a groove-oriented thing - almost Grateful Dead-like. 4th is similar. Very clean, professional recording. Second side is sitar player with a drummer - maybe congas, but made to bend like a tabla. Juma htinks it may be something he recorded in California. After this, there is a jazz quartet with a flute leading. Recorded from a record, as you can hear the crackle. Then a sudden shift back to a rock group. Likely the same as band on first side. Very unexpected shift, but then continues with that band.
