Crazy Saints & Believe

When Crazy Saints was released, he announced 'No more east or west!' Loathe when exotic spices suppliers take over the growing musical ethno-supermarket. Indian culture as sounding curry? No thanks. Crazy Saints once again presented his mother, who was a well-known singer in India. Pat Metheny, Joe Zawinul as well as two world-renowned Jazz names also appeared on the album, undoubtedly attracting additional attention. It was key that he had found a like-minded aesthetic in a musician such as Zawinul. Crazy Saints and Believe document a changing period, in which Gurtu newly orientated himself. The bonus tracks (a live recording from Radio Bremen, recorded between both studio productions) particularly prove, that jazz during this particular time was still a crucial component of his music. This changed in the time that followed. He feels the often testified sincerity of jazz as the opposite, as constricting.
