Within a few years, he recorded his first fusion album, Garland and soon began composing Western classical symphonies and concertos. Over the years, he has recorded and composed over a hundred albums collaborating with some of the greatest musicians of all times from Lord Yehudi Menuhin to Herbie Hancock.
