Shankar

Catched this documentary years ago on television. It was part of a series (BBC co-production) called "Rhythms of the World" and is set around violinist Shankar, Caroline, percussion maestro Trilok Gurtu, ghatam player Vikku Vinayakram and multi-instrumentalist Don Cherry performing on New Years Eve (around 1991-92) in Bombay (nowadays Mumbai).

Also featured are Alice Coltrane, the wife of the legendary John Coltrane and Zakir Hussain. Interviews and Bombay street scenery mix in with concert cuts providing a great impression of Indian atmosphere. The sort of TV show I stayed home for on Saturday evening.
