ABOUT
There's a meditative quality to the songs, which mix elements including raga, Americana, and jazz." - The Sacramento Bee

"His sound is equal parts jazz, folk, blues, spirituals, and world music." - The Union

"The most beautiful thing I have heard in this new millennium." - Allaboutjazz.com writer

"Drawing freely from Hindustani classical, delta blues, and jazz without being bound by them, what's noteworthy about Songs of Universal Peace is how naturally Hammond and Nair blend these traditions and depart from them." - Dusted Magazine

"Nair and Hammond provide a similar blueprint for cooperation, and their songs are a breeding ground for mettā. Each leans against and is supported by a mutual respect for the other's sound." - Allaboutjazz.com
