Beautiful Music.......2004-06-28

this cd is simply great! i had no idea who jai uttal was until my dad got this cd as a gift, and i couldnt believe i hadn't heard from him before! the music is beautiful and a must for anyone who enjoys far-eastern sounds. most of the songs are sung in sanskrit, hindi and bengali and are accompanied by beautiful melodies. track 3, "be with you" as well as track 10 "conductor" are sung in english. "be with you" is a beautiful song and that song alone may be reason enough for anyone to purchase this cd. track 8, "beggars and saints" is a breath-taking instrumental piece that will not go unnoticed either. this is a great all-around cd as it has more "dancier" tracks as well as more relaxing ones as well. check it out; it won't be a waste of time! :)

Love Jai Uttal..........2007-04-30

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.........2007-02-20

I love Jai's voice, but he sounds a little too new agey in his english songs.

the best of jai uttal.......2003-02-03

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.

Totally Awesome.......1999-12-09

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..

Enchanting.......1999-08-29

This album makes me miss places I've never been, at least not in this lifetime. There is enough song style diversity so as to not become too monotonous. English lyrics combined with Eastern chants provide an interesting twist which sets Jai apart from the rest.

Beggars and Saints is one of dotar player and chant master Jai Uttal's more spiritual albums, reaching deep into his bag of Hindustani devotional lyrics and ragas to create a music saturated in South Asian instrumentation (tabla, harmonium, dunbek) and American smooth-pop savvy. Though this may put off some, open-minded listeners appreciative of Uttal's authentic passion for both cultures will find the winning card here. While "Be with You" begs for smooth-jazz airplay, tunes like "Gopala" and "Hara Shiva Shankara" show that Uttal's serious about his Asian influences. His life was changed forever while in India, where he studied under the great sarod legend Ali Akbar Khan, and he incorporates his lessons of musical spirituality well here. Uttal's voice has a rootsy, robust tone that's gradually magnetic and tips the scales toward success--along with some infectious, relaxed jams. Don't expect great strides in world or jazz music, just an interesting and pleasant experiment in South Asian-American music that offers intriguing ends. --Karen K. Hugg

First class fusion of ancient and modern.......2000-11-04

Jai's presentation of traditional bhajans is about the best I have heard for the unfamiliar ear. The music exudes a raw energy and the chanting is expertly done. I find it a real enhancement for inducing moods of devotion and spiritual ecstasy (well, the nearest I can manage to true ecstasy, at least). I sense that Jai is a Hanuman and Rama bhakta, and if you want to find out more about the moods of that devotion, then you might like to dip into the Ramayana. An excellent devotional version is the novelisation by Krishna Dharma.

Incredible and Hyonotic.......2000-08-01

The best of Jai Uttals offerings (all worthwhile getting)---devotional, inspiratonal, and uplifting. Sets the vibration for the entire day, bringing the devotion ot traditional ragas to the heart and lifting the veils between East and West. The presence of Hanuman and the power of chant is extremely accessible. Doors open to the inner self through the listening of the entire CD. Enjoy.
