Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (1948-1997) was adored in his native Pakistan as a qawwal (Sufi mystic and singer) long before his unbelievably beautiful tenor voice and soaring flights of improvisation brought him international fame. The short, stout man with the beatific smile was most often heard with his "Party," a troupe of singers and instrumentalists who mirrored his every impulse. Although Ustad (Master) Khan ultimately collaborated with important western producers and rock stars and appeared on film soundtracks, for him, everything led back to the source of all things. He is heard here accompanied primarily by harmonium, tabla drums and clapping back-up singers and his trademark spiraling devotional surges seem to arc clear to the cosmos. These seven rare archival tracks are an ideal introduction to Ustad Khan's early work and constitute a worthy addition to the legacy of a world-class artist who unfailingly described himself as "Allah's humble servant." --Christina Roden
