Dream Shanti is the latest project to evolve under the aegis of woodwind player Jeff Coffin, a former member of Béla Fleck & the Flecktones who has also put in time with the Dave Matthews Band and leads his own ensemble, Jeff Coffin & the Mu’tet. Here he gathers an estimable group of musicians from India (tabla player Subrata Bhattacharya and sitarist Indrajit Banerjee), Japan (Ryoko Suzuki on harmonium), and the U.S. (Jordan Perlson, Dave Matthews henchman Carter Beauford, and Flecktone Roy “Futureman” Wooten on drums and percussion, Chris Walters on piano, and Stefan Lessard, also from the Matthews band, on bass) to create an unselfconscious coming together of aesthetics and spirit that only occasionally crosses the line into archness.
