Shakti - A Handful of Beauty (1977)
I got my first taste of Shakti, John McLaughlin's late '70s acoustic Indo-fusion outfit featuring L. Shankar (violin), Zakir Hussain (tabla) and T.H. Vinayakram (ghatam, mridangam), via their first album 'Shakti with John McLaughlin' which was recorded live.
While 'Handful of Beauty', the followup, is less organic-sounding than the debut, it still has plenty of fiery and inspired call-and-response displays by McLaughlin and Shankar.
