Jazz artist Deepak Ram played for the Brubeck Festival. It's another example of the cultural mix that we call Jazz. He plays straight-on jazz, but uses a mix of Indian and Western instruments to do so. It was interesting to hear. I know this isn't new. John McLaughlin experimented with the same styles in the' '70s. So did Miles Davis. And of course The Beatles mixed rock and Indian sounds in the same way. But it still is an interesting cultural clash.
