Rollin' & Tumblin' - Michael Messer, Manish Pingle, Gurdain Rayatt

Recorded live at the Troubadour Club, London, September 2013. (With special thanks to The North American Guitar and Mark Pavey) East meets West in this new musical meeting between two virtuoso players of both slide and steel guitar. Formed in 2013 after Michael Messer and Manish Pingle met during a festival in Mumbai, this trio is a not only a coming together of like-minded musicians, each with high profile reputations in their own spheres, but also an inspired exploration of the ground between Messer’s blues and steel guitar and Pingle’s classical Indian slide guitar. Adding the polyrhythmic virtuosity of the highly regarded tabla player Gurdain Rayatt, the two guitarists have created a unique trio that appeals to everyone interested in instrumental brilliance and the musical connections that flow from the Ganges to the Mississippi Delta.
