Zakir Hussain Making Music: ECM Luminessence Series

Zakir Hussain's 1987 Album Making Music Reissued as Part of the ECM Luminessence Series on LP. Features John McLaughlin (Guitar), Jan Garbarek (Saxophone) & Hariprasad Chaurasia (Flute).

Making Music is a luminous fusion album led by tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain, recorded in Oslo in December 1986 and released on ECM in 1987. The quartet brings together Hariprasad Chaurasia on flute, John McLaughlin on acoustic guitar and Jan Garbarek on saxophones, weaving Indian classical sensibilities with jazz and world textures. The compositions unfold with restraint and elegance, inviting spacious interplay, virtuoso dialogues, and subtle rhythmic depth.

Luminessence, ECM's new audiophile vinyl-reissue series, is a kaleidoscope, shedding light on the jewels of the label's deep catalogue in elegant, high-quality editions. The hallmarks of the series: original and evocative music, imaginatively played and sensitively produced. The recordings underline the scope and variety of ECM's world of sound and the LPs are presented in different formats.
