Album Notes

Esculator Music is an interesting collage of soundscapes, musical styles and cultures. The album represents the various musical backgrounds of its collaborators, Robbin J. Harris and Toby Mak. Chishti is in essence these two individuals; musician, composer, producer, and record label owner Robbin J. Harris from the USA/Canada and musician, composer and co-producer Toby Mak from Australia.
This debut album from Chishti creatively depicts the impressions that were absorbed by Robbin J. Harris and Toby Mak during their prolonged stay in the hectic city of Hong Kong. The two musicians formed Chishti after getting acquainted with one another during some unrelated performances that brought their talents together. It was these first meetings that led to a strong musical bond which resulted in the creation of the album Esculator Music. An integral part of this bond was the shared vision of a stylisticly unconstrained record. By blending the different styles and vibes they had acquired from their separate musical paths they definitely achieved that goal which is embodied in the compositions of Esculator Music.
Chishti seamlessly weaves House, Drum and Bass, Bop, Dub, and Ambient into a wonderful concept album taking the listener on a journey through one of Asia's most cosmopolitan cities.

normally  I'm not a fan a jazz. I think jazz lately has become to intellectualized and to deriviate(every horn player reuse Coletrain's licks, every drummer play like Max Roach ect..).   this Cd however is unique CHISHTI didn't set out to sound like anyone else. usually I just listen to music but this music i felt.

great Cd, really nice trip on this disc

The Cd really flows nicely and even though I have never been to Hong Kong I can get an idea of it, but also I loved the electronic style done by live musicians it is nice to here, sounds a little like tim haggans last blue note effort.I hope the group does another disc soon.

The experience is like listeninng for the first time.

A fresh approach to an over played idiom. As a fellow jazz musician I appreciate and applaud the the risks taken in this music. It will provide an exciting listening experience for the musician or non-musician as a listener.
