A wonderful piece that Philip Glass wrote about George Harrison and Ravi Shankar
in the New York Times back in Dec 2001, shortly after Harrison's death -

One of the greatest musicians of all time....crossed over so many musical styles. My personal favourite musician, trumpet player, composer, jazz musician Don Ellis studied with him in the 60's.
Their music lives on...
