“I’ve got a record in my bag now of a 12-year-old Indian guy [U. Srinivas] playing electric mandolin who will blow away those guys in the heavy-metal bands, no question about it.” - George Harrison, Musician, March 1990

“George Harrison attended my concert. I was thrilled to have him as part of the audience. Pandit Ravi Shankar told him about me and that’s why he came for it. He came backstage during the intermission to meet me and after the concert he told me how much he enjoyed it.” - U. Srinivas, expressbuzz.com

“Check out U. Srinivas a South Indian electric mandolin player[.] eat your heart out Van Halen!“ - George Harrison, Yahoo web chat, February 15, 2001

‪“George's favorite piece of Indian music was Mandolin Ecstasy, an album recorded by a child prodigy from Madras called U. Srinivas at the age of 13. ‘It was, like, my dad's favorite album of all time. [...] [U Srinivas is] the man[,]’ [says Dhani].” - The Guardian, May 9, 2003

‪“One of U. Srinivas’ very first albums, Mandolin Ecstasy, was ‘one of George’s favorite albums,’ [Olivia Harrison] says. ‘I think he was only 15 or even younger at the time. We went to see him in concert and afterwards George had a chance to inspect his electric mandolin. He had one made just like it and tried to play like Srinivas. He’d have a go at anything.’” - Songlines, June 2018 (x)

[ad_1] Suddenly, it feels like India have found a pace-bowling all-rounder who can bowl at decent speeds and play the modern, attacking style of cricket. Does that sound like Hardik Pandya? Yes, but the player in question is Nitish Kumar Reddy. On Wednesday, Reddy became the second-youngest Indian to win a T20I Player of the Match award (21 years, 136 days), just behind Rohit Sharma’s record of 20 years and 143 days. This followed his standout performance in the second T20I against Bangladesh at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, where he shone with both bat (74 off 34) and ball (2/23). It takes some effort for any youngster to make Gautam Gambhir stand up and applaud, and that’s what India’s head coach did after Reddy took the Bangladeshi bowlers to the cleaners. Yes, India have found an extremely promising all-rounder, but can he climb the ladder quick enough to be retained by SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH), or even find a spot in the squad for the Australia tour later this year? Reddy is no stranger to those who follow age-group cricket. Although he had a breakthrough season in IPL 2024, his debut for SunRisers Hyderabad came in the 2023 edition – a steep learning curve and a somewhat forgettable experience. Growing up in Visakhapatnam, Reddy was a top-order batter who regularly topped the run charts while also being a handy medium pacer. A fan of Virat Kohli, Reddy set the record books ablaze during the 2017-18 Vijay Merchant season, scoring 1,237 runs at a staggering average of 176.41. This included a triple century, two tons, two half-centuries, and an astonishing 441-run knock against Nagaland. Despite his early promise and being tipped as the ‘next big thing’, Reddy did not attract much media attention, even after being named the ‘Best Cricketer in the U-16 category’ at the BCCI Annual Awards in 2018. He later represented India B in the U-19 age group circuit. However, his journey wasn’t without setbacks. Over a couple of seasons, he struggled and even considered quitting bowling to focus solely on batting. It was only after being persuaded by his coach, Srinivas Reddy, and meeting Pandya at the NCA that he set his sights on becoming India’s leading pace-bowling all-rounder. In his U-16 days, Reddy was both an opening batter and bowler, but he had to adjust his game to reduce the strain on his body. He transitioned to the middle order, though it took time to find his rhythm in this new role. Reddy made his first-class debut for Andhra in 2020, and has made 627 runs at a modest average of 20.96 in 20 matches, alongside taking 54 wickets. His breakthrough came in 2023, though his first couple of games with SunRisers Hyderabad were forgettable – he didn’t bat and conceded 54 runs in just five overs. However, SRH showed faith in him, retaining him ahead of the IPL 2024 auction. Reddy then became a household name during the tournament, as SRH showcased an aggressive brand of cricket. Although Reddy’s role wasn’t as explosive as his teammates, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, he contributed 303 runs at an impressive strike-rate of 142.92. Being a local, Reddy quickly became a cult figure for the SRH fans. With the Indian team in need of another pace-bowling all-rounder to complement Pandya, especially someone capable of performing across formats, Reddy was quickly called up for India’s T20I squad for the Zimbabwe tour earlier this year. Unfortunately, he missed the opportunity due to a hernia issue. However, while undergoing rehab in Bengaluru, sources told RevSportz that the staff at the NCA were highly impressed by Reddy’s dedication, discipline, and work ethic. Some even suggested that the 21-year-old could bowl at speeds of 145 kph in the near future. In the current series, he has consistently bowled in the mid-to-late 130 kph range. For SunRisers Hyderabad, retaining Reddy could cost them a few extra crores from their Rs 120 crore budget, with his retention cost now at least Rs 11 crore. However, Reddy’s growing reputation could fetch him even more in the IPL auction, should SRH release him to save money.

As it stands, retaining Reddy alongside Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, and Abhishek Sharma seems like a no-brainer for the franchise. And it’s not only the IPL. Reddy could also find himself on the flight to Australia later this year given the shaky fitness history of Shardul Thakur. For Reddy, at 21, the future is immensely bright.                                     The post Nitish Kumar Reddy makes his mark as ‘next big thing’ appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.

MY WORLD: OLIVIA HARRISON

Olivia Harrison, the wife of the late Beatle George Harrison, talks about how George's collaborations with Indian musicians helped shape her own musical tastes

Among the pioneers who helped to popularise world music, few have done more or had more kudos than George Harrison. In the mid-60s, the Beatles’ guitarist took lessons from Ravi Shankar and introduced the exotic sound of the sitar to Western pop music fans via his songs with the Beatles.

As his wife for 25 years until his death in 2001, Olivia Harrison enjoyed a ringside seat at his collaborations with Shankar and other Indian musicians and they then explored a glorious range of other world music styles together, from Mexican corridos to Bulgarian folk music. Unsurprisingly, George’s influence permeates her playlist selections and her current project, releasing his archive of recordings by some of the greatest Indian musicians of the 20th century.“Being married to George gave me a crash course in Indian music,” she says. “George recorded many great Indian classical musicians, but he never revisited the recordings because he didn’t look back, he just kept moving forward. But I couldn’t sleep if I thought the tapes George made were going to degrade and never be heard. They’re a wonderful legacy.” The archive will be released on the HariSongs imprint, in conjunction with Craft Recordings, a division of Concord Music Group.

Olivia’s first taste of Indian music came when the likes of Shankar, flautist Hariprasad Chaurasia and santoor player Shuvkumar Sharma stayed with Harrison when he was producing the 1974 album Shankar Family & Friends. “Those musicians were the finest exponents of their instruments and it was a divine experience. While they were staying, they did three nights of concerts, which George recorded. The tapes have just been sitting there and that’s what inspired me to do HariSongs,” she says.

Before their release, however, comes the reissue of two important but out-of-print Shankar recordings produced by George, both of which feature on Olivia’s playlist.

‘Raga Manj Khamaj’ was originally released on the album In Concert 1972, which was released on Apple the following year. Featuring a ‘dream team’ of Shankar on sitar, Ali Akbar Khan on sarod and Alla Rakha on tabla, it was recorded at New York’s Philharmonic Hall before Olivia knew Harrison. “I wish could have been there because it’s a great historic moment,” she says. “That was one of Ravi’s favourite ragas. I remember him talking about it.” By the time of her second Shankar choice, ‘Sarve Shaam’ from the 1996 Harrison-produced Chants of India, she had got to know him as a family friend. “You revered Ravi,” she says of the great man. “He carried with him that great tradition, but he was also a very modern man and had a great sense of humour.”

Partly recorded in India and partly at Harrison’s Friar Park home in Henley-on-Thames, Olivia recalls the recording sessions well. “Ravi was very specific about the mantras and how they were recorded and orchestrated and George really wanted people to understand the vibrations of those chants was beneficial to their well-being.”

The track on her playlist is a particularly poignant choice. “At the end of his life George said to me that all he could listen to was ‘Sarve Shaam’,” Olivia remembers. “After all the sounds and sights and tastes you experience over a lifetime, it came down to the purity of ‘Sarve Shaam’.” The piece was also performed as the opening blessing at the Concert for George memorial, held at London’s Albert Hall in 2002.

Two other Indian selections on Olivia’s playlist also carry memories of George. One of U Srinivas’ very first albums, Mandolin Ecstasy, was “one of George’s favourite albums,” she says. “I think he was only 15 or even younger at the time. We went to see him in concert and afterwards George had a chance to inspect his electric mandolin. He had one made just like it and tried to play like Srinivas. He’d have a go at anything.” A track from one of Srinivas’ later albums recorded on Real World features on this issue’s covermount CD.

‘Bhoop Ghara’ from Call of the Valley, recorded in 1967 by Shivkumar Sharma, Hariprasad Chaurasia and slide guitar player Brijbhusan Kabra, was “something George had on our juke box. We played it as a remedy in our home if you were feeling a certain way. Kabra was one of George’s heroes as a slide guitarist, up there with Ry Cooder.”

The Harrisons met Cooder through the American producer Russ Titelman, who also introduced them to another of Olivia’s playlist choices, ‘Kalimankou Denkou’ from the Mystère des Voix Bulgares Vol 1 album, first released on an obscure label in 1975 and a surprise world music hit when re-released on 4AD a decade later. “Russ brought the album with him when he was working with George and we loved it,” Olivia says. When several of the singers on the album, including Yanka Rupkina, were working in London as Trio Bulgarka, the Harrisons invited them to their Friar Park home to give a private concert. “Russ and George stood in the hall and harmonised with them. It was a very reverential experience.”

Although born in Los Angeles, Olivia’s grandparents came from Guanajuato in Mexico. “I grew up with Mexican music and watched Mexican movies and my father played guitar and sang and recorded in the 30s,” she says. In 2016, Olivia presented a Songlines Music Award to the Mexican singer Lila Downs for her album Balas y Chocolate. “I didn’t know much about her until then, but I saw her perform and what a force!” Olivia says. “Last year I brought over a mariachi orchestra and we had a private concert at Friar Park because I got tired of waiting 30 years for someone else to do it. It was my way to let my friends experience that music – which was what George was always trying to do. He wanted people to understand and be moved by the music that he loved.”

Her playlist ends with a unique version of George’s 1968 song ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ by the ukulele player Jake Shimabukuro. She discovered his version when it went viral on YouTube in 2006. It has since received 15 million views. “Lots of people wrote to me or sent me a link saying ‘have you seen this?’ I was really floored by it,” she says. “Jake is a master and I then saw him play it one Christmas in Honolulu with an orchestra and it was beautiful. George wasn’t around to hear Jake’s version but he would have loved it.”

Listed: Byron Westbrook

Byron Westbrook debuted on New York City’s sound and music scene in 2005, when he took a position with Phill Niblock’s Experimental Intermedia Foundation. One of his duties was to work sound at Niblock’s loft concerts, and while Westbrook’s early work under the name Corridors operated according to different temporal and structural mandates, it expressed similar concerns with the way sound and space interact. The LPs that Westbrook has made since he switched to working under his own name in 2012 have narrowed the focus from compositions that used processed instrumental sounds to create psychoacoustic experiences in multi-speaker environments to quickly changing, rhythmically oriented electronic music. Dusted’s Joseph Burnett says of Body Consonance, Westbrook’s newest album, that “he creates a sense of perpetual motion, an almost aggressive physicality that moves the music from minimalism to maximalism.”

Costin Miereanu – Carrousel

Greg Davis posted a number of Miereanu’s records on the Root Blog in 2014, and I really fell in love with this one. It’s so insistent, a more disorienting take on Terry Riley’s approach.

David Behrman – A Traveller's Dream Journal

David Behrman is singular and amazing, no one makes music like his. I have a page in a notebook from one of our meetings when I was a student in the Bard MFA program, where I wrote down "David Berhman says KEEP IT LIGHT". I think I might have still leaned a little towards keeping it heavy, but I have the greatest respect for Behrman. His work and sensibility have been a major influence.

M.S. Subbulakshmi – prabhujI-tum-bin / sUrdas-bhajan

While perusing an online archive of Indian classical LPs a couple of years ago, I ran across a record of Hindi devotional songs sung by M.S. Subbulakshmi. Her voice is just incredible and I love the way the melodies develop here. I also find it interesting how the form of the song bears many similarities to contemporary pop/dance music.

Joni Mitchell – Jungle Line

I really admire how much Joni Mitchell chose to experiment in her prime, taking left turns with each record. This tune was just four years after she made Blue! I've wondered what influence this track might have had on Eno/Hassell and the whole Fourth World movement, as well as the complicated Peter Gabriel/Paul Simon "world music" pop appropriation of the 1980s. Also, isn't this tune’s production essentially the blueprint for a lot of things that Kate Bush and Bjork did? Credit to Joni as an innovator, she took some serious risks and deserves so much more credit than she’s been given.

Mark Fell – Multistability

An established classic at this point, Fell’s almost sculptural approach to stereo field on this record has been a major influence in recent years.

Luc Ferrari – Les Anecdotiques

This is a really under-appreciated Ferrari release. It has a surprising amount of subtle synthesizer on it - I think possibly DX7 or some kind of FM/digital, but it's used in a way that it feels like he's colorizing the field recordings and changing the noise floor, in a way that it transforms the sense of perception of recorded spaces.

Theatre of Eternal Music – B flat dorian blues

I'm not a huge fan of La Monte Young. I feel like there should be room for many more people to explore the range of what immersive sound installations and unique tuning systems can do, and to consider Young’s early experiments as the peak achievements in the canon feels like ending a conversation that is just beginning. Having said that, I really love this track, (which also includes Tony Conrad and Angus MacLise as players, a whole other subject) It’s a pretty serious display of virtuosity that feels more obliged to working with the spatial and durational than it does to reading as “saxophone”, which resonates a lot with me.

Maggi Payne – Gamelan

Maggi Payne is someone else whose work deserves way more attention than it has been given. I love the use of stereo in this, and how it reads as creating a sense of space and melody arrangement at the same time. Root Strata put out this LP a few years ago, and I think she has a re-release of Crystal coming out soon.

U. Srinivas – Gananayakam

U. Srinivas was an electric mandolin player who died recently at 45 years old, but as he was a child prodigy, his career was still amazingly nearly 40 years long. The energy in his playing was incredible, and this particular performance is so good. I love his blown out delayed guitar tone, how it seems to sit in an entirely different space than all of the other instruments, and these percussion players are fantastic.

John Martyn – Inside Out

John Martyn's 70's output always sits on a fine line between cheesily over-dramatic and very fresh sounding in the context of 1970’s folk-pop. I have to admit to really enjoying about half of every record. I like most of Inside Out though, with its Bitches Brew/Weather Report approach. There are so many details in quality of sound in this tune, with its weird subtle phaser+echoplex tricks, and I really like how all of the gestures seem intentional-yet-casual.
