"Phenomenal" Sunny Jain's new album 'Wild Wild East'

Brooklyn Indian dhol player, drummer, and composer Sunny Jain mixes jazz, a multitude of Indian folk and classical traditions, cinema sounds, and surf rock on his new anti-xenophobia album 'Wild Wild East', presenting "stories that speak to the importance of human rights and criticizes a distinct and dangerous lack of them for so many Americans with immigrant or indigenous backgrounds", PopMatters says in a review (gave it 9 of 10 stars). The music here is "phenomenal", PH says, adding that an "understanding of the stories he tells here with such musical brilliance is liable to change hearts and minds for the better. Sunny Jain is the cowboy we need today, blazing new trails ahead into a sonically marked sense of community".
