Good foray of Charlie Mariano into Eastern music, I didn't know the Bangalore album.
So far my favourite piece of Indian (carnatic) music from a jazz musician is the 'killer' tune from the Samdhi (twilight) album by Rudresh Mahantappa, a New-York based alto saxophonist. The music is not easy, so far I could not discern the tempo, not a traditional western 4/4 or 3/4 or 9/8, must some crazy uneven tempo, I suspect from the bass line it would be may possible to figure it out.
