SHAMBHU Lilac Skies Acoustic Shine, 2019 8/10 Shambhu (pronounced SHOHM-Boo) returns with his 4th album of six string prowess, as he brings plenty of varied influences to his calming, meditative formula. “Lilac Skies” starts the listen out with light jazz sounds where crisp guitars and winding grooves fill the atmosphere, and “Unspoken Words” follows with precise picking on a dreamy, contemplative affair. Although guitars are certainly the main focus here, songs like “Dochas”

Review of Lilac Skies at All About Jazz

Master of painting the heart colors of the soul of humanity with the brushes of contemporary musical instruments. Wizard of sonic resonance that spins hearts toward the heavens with the magic of composition. Co-creator of genius with the Universe of exquisite soulful sounds that soothe the tensions of this fragile world. Life has been what it has been - and I finally listened to the whole album of Lilac Skies with my Beloved Yana. You are a Master. You are a Wizard. You are a

Excerpted from CNBC.com by Deepak Chopra and Kabir Sehgal Research has shown that music can increase your concentration levels. In the same way that music can rev up your workout, it can “do the same thing before your 3 p.m. presentation,” according to Carson Tate, author of “Work Simply: Embracing the Power of Your Personal Productivity Style.” While different people may have different music preferences, Tate recommends a laid-back beat to help clear your mind. She says inst

Takes a goodly portion of jazz, add a little R & B, include a modicum of contemporary music, shake it up a bit and chill slightly and you end up with an amazing upbeat album by talented guitarist and composer Shambhu and his friends. It is called Lilac Skies. What gives the eye and the heart more pleasure than a lavender sky to start a day? Lilac skies at night perhaps. In either case, the fourth release by this jazz style guitarist is ten tracks of mellow music guaranteed to

‘Lilac Skies’ is the beautiful new single from the phenomenally talented artist, Shambhu. He describes the song as, ‘Soothing Guitar for a Peaceful World’ and we can not disagree! The opening of the song hears rich drums swiftly followed by Shambhu’s trademark sound. His guitar parts are melodic, effortless and supremely skilfull. There is no doubt that this is a guitarist who is a master of his craft. Shambhu reminds us of Santana and Walter Becker in places but make no mist

Just a little about this artist before we talk about this new single entitled Lilac Skies; Shambhu is a jazz guitarist with a quiet relaxed touch in his music that has helped him to gain a significant following in the New Age music community of listeners. He grew up hanging with drummer Narada Michael Walden, and guitarists John McLaughlin and Carlos Santana. Shambhu spent time meditating with their Guru and jammed with Carlos a lot in their early years. With Narada producing

He’s enjoyed a great amount of success in the New Age music-community and gained a faithful following of fans that appreciate the smooth textures & tones Shambhu is capable of creating so well. “Lilac Skies” is a much more decisive shift into Jazz for sure, but it’s a welcome move that will likely not only please the massive crowd of existing fans he currently has, but creates a whole new opportunity through this crossover cut to invite a whole bunch more new fans into Shamb

Fresh from the album of the same name, Shambhu’s Lilac Skies introduces the jazz guitarist as an artist with a fine ear for delicate melodies and soundscapes that embrace and calm an audience. While there are certain layers of softness to the track, which prove to be immediately inviting and make for an enjoyable backdrop to your day, there are also a few notable riffs and moments that help give the whole thing a recognizable sound. And with that, there’s a sense of progressi

In pondering the joyous and thoughtful inspirational melodies, intoxicating rhythms and deeply soulful and intricate guitar work we hear throughout Shambhu’s fourth and latest new age-oriented masterwork Lilac Skies, it might help those uninitiated to his majestic flow to get some preconceived notions out of the way. Though he’s won a sea of Zone Music Reporter (ZMR) music awards since his 2010 debut album Sacred Love, hit the top spot on the ZMR New Age chart, and worked ext

I am totally in my element here, this is the sort of music that I could listen to all day long, Shambhu has such a delightfully fluent way of playing the guitar that it seems to just drip off the fingers like warm Honey on a July afternoon, it simple doesn’t get any better than this. Lilac Skies is a journey I take willingly, and if you also voyage with me through this stunning new release you too will find a place of musical bliss and a sanctuary of heavenly tunes as well. T

Hi Shambhu, welcome back to VENTS! How have you been? Thank you, I’m feeling wonderful as we launch my fourth album, Lilac Skies. This album took me year to create, with 10 new songs, including a few (Lilac Skies and Basis of It All) that I wrote back in high school. After launching 3 albums into the New Age market, there’s a lot of meaning for me in an album that highlights my roots in Jazz and Blues. After recording an acoustic album, Soothe, for my 3rd release, I wanted d

Too often in today’s fast-paced world we are entertained and excited by much of the music we hear and we fail to enjoy the true beauty of music. Pop music has become littered with fast, attention-grabbing noise. But we can still find beauty in sound if we expand open our hearts and ears to new styles. Our friend Shambhu (who we interviewed in the past) keeps our mind at ease with his beautiful jazz guitar songs. The acclaimed jazz guitarist and composer is an expert at transf

Shambhu is a word that has many different meanings. In this case, we have to lean towards the spiritual essence of things. This Shambhu is a musician that creates some incredibly good music. On April 12, 2019, he will release Lilac Skies. The title also holds meaning for the artist, which is infinite love. One look at the cover and you can feel the warmth, beauty, and the lovely smell of that flower when it blooms. It actually has always been one of my favorites, especially t

Lilac Skies is the fourth album from award-winning composer/guitarist Shambhu, and what an incredibly good album it is! Something of a hybrid of new age and jazz genres, the overall vibe of the ten original tracks is relaxed and upbeat. The title itself means “infinite love” - “Lilac” is the color of love and “Skies” are the infinite and endless possibilities. Shambhu sums it up well in this quote: “This music is dedicated to lifting us up inside. Relax, groove, dance, enjoy

"Seriously good musicianship, some cool jazz, blues, and just enough new age for a kick back and relaxing time, with a definitive groove though.” (New Age Music Reviews) Jazz guitarist Shambhu with special guest Indo/jazz saxophonist George Brooks is returning to East West Bookshop, 324 Castro Street, Mountain View on April 12th (7pm) to perform his relaxing music and celebrate the release of his new album, “Lilac Skies”.
