Dave Pike Set - Rare Groove, Jazz Funk, Jazz Rock

Dave Pike's album "Infra-Red," known for its vibraphone + sitar rare groove!
(BASF, released in 1972, US version)
*German version released in 1970 by MPS Records, US release in 1972.

A must-listen is "Raga Jeeva Swara," a raga jazz funk track, alongside "Mathar," which was covered by PAUL WELLER with sitar in the 90s, INDIAN VIBES!

Sampled by:
Cornershop "Brimful of Asha (Norman Cook Remix)"
The Wiseguys "Ooh La La"

Besides, there's a lot of JAZZFUNK and JAZZROCK that will make you shiver with the soaring vibes and the interplay of Volker Kriegel's sitar and rock guitars!

This album is a bit harder to find than "Noisy Silence-Gentle Noise" from "Mathar"!
