The setting of A Hundred Blooms
The poet Jayadeva sets the scene for his epic story, the Gita Govinda. It is
spring. Radha searches for her true love, Krishna, on an island in the forest
by a river. Her friend sings to her to heighten the mood.
A Hundred Blooms can be heard in its original shorter form on the album Under
the Bimba Blossoms. The version heard here features extended improvisations
played for us by the talented musicians who contributed to the creation of both
CDs.
