Music for the Spirit September 8, 2007

Jai Uttal's got to be a reincarnation of some Baul singer from North India; he reminds me so much of the fantastic chanters I heard in Uttara Pradesh. But Jai knows how to make this music work for a Western audience. He's a master of both hemispheres, East and West, and creates a musical fusion that's passionate and powerful.
Jai will make your soul sing. He's kirtan at its richest and best.
Love Jai Uttal... April 30, 2007
I love this music so most anything that they
put out gets my attention.
I do recommend it to all my friends
and family and to everyone.
Awwww great music for one's soul.
 Well.. February 20, 2007
I love Jai's voice, but he sounds a little too new agey in his english songs.
the best of jai uttal February 3, 2003
This album is truly Jai Uttal's best offering to date. So often fushion music feels forced. None of that with Jai Uttal-- he has a natural affinity and for the Indian Bhakta street, but is not imitative. Instead, he he brings together all of his talent in world music and makes something really new and exciting. As someone who is half-Bengali and was raised in American ashrams, I've heard a lot. So imagine my joy to discover his voice on the radio. He does not try to imitate an "Indian" voice (whatever that is), which sounds more honest to my ear. In songs like Menoka (one of my fav's), his pronunciation is not great. But you soon forget that as you hear the fervor in his voice.

i accidentally walked into a Jai Uttal concert at the Ashkenaz Club in berkeley and never regretted it. It was the best 4 hours of dance music I ever listened to. beggars and saints is his best work so far. As an indian, it reminds me of the many hours Id spend back in India listening to religious chanting of Hare Rama Hare Krishna..Jai adds the Western touch..the beat..and its absolutely explosive..I wish Jai would tour other parts of the Unites States than California..There is a big potential audience of first and second generation indians whod love this..
