Happenstance by Jay Kishor Jay Kishor : Happenstance.
 Music without preservatives.

Sitar and Surbahar virtuoso Jay Kishor describes TouchingGrace as more "vision" than band, yet the sound on Happenstance makes for a remarkably full-bodied and accessible listening experience. Happenstance combines the best elements of Western pop-melodicism with the intricately circular song structures of Eastern music. Soothing yet savvy, Happenstance a wonderful album to have on in the background at work.
