That’s why the songs on Massical feel like acoustic balm. When you’re listening, you forget everything you ever learned about music. You drop all your prejudices and surrender yourself to the flow. Don Cherry was also a musician who pushed the basic musical concept out of its’ glass case and made the highest level of music available to everyone by very simple means. That’s exactly how Massical, the title of Trilok Gurtu’s album should be understood. His premise is that “music has to be there for everybody – it is the masses who have to decide about music and not the classes. The classes always have the money. But you always have to reach the masses. That’s why I say music is massical, not classical.“
