KAI ECKHARDT 2010 MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

Attention bass players!
Do you often have problems keeping consistent in your practice?
Does the rest of your life get in the way of your music?
Do you struggle with distraction, lack of focus, loss of motivation or boredom?
Do you feel your music may be irrelevant?
Have you tried different methods yet lack a sense of real accomplishment?

If the answer is yes to some of those questions, this program may be for you:

Kai Eckhardt Mentorship Program
The Kai Eckhardt Mentorship Program is a 108 day guided practice for bassists ranging from beginner to highly advanced. It is molded after the Indian concept in which 108 repetitions are necessary to achieve mastery of any material. This daily routine is put together by combining elements of Kai's highly potent practice tools with specific exercises you, the student, will be asked to choose for yourself.

Brief description: Every student under the wing of this program adopts an alias receiving access to a username and password activated online journal. Students communicate with Kai on a daily basis by using a simple number and letter system to track development and progress online. Each pupil's practice routine is customized with Kai's help at the onset of the Mentorship program. Students receive a certificate and gift upon accomplishment of the 108 day course.

Cost : $1 a day.

How to get started:
1. Send an email using the link below and type 'Mentorship Program' into the subject.
2. Kai will personally respond by emailing to you the course details and guidelines.
3. Should you then decide to take the course, Kai will guide you through an interview, customize your routine and set up your user and password.
4. Once you are up and running you should soon feel a positive change coming !

Mondo Garaj is the debut studio album and fourth album by the jazz/rock/funk/fusion/jam band Garaj Mahal.

Recorded in late 2000 and early 2001 at In The Pocket Studio in Sonoma County, CA, then subsequently mixed/mastered over 2001 and 2002 at Talcott Mountain Studio in Simsbury, CT, The Plant Studios in Sausalito, CA, Phelps Studios in San Francisco, CA, and Fluffland Studio in San Anselmo, CA, and finally released in 2003 on Harmonized Records as the band's first studio effort (after three live discs), Mondo Garaj captures Garaj Mahal in its relative infancy. Keyboardist Eric Levy had recently joined, and although he's prominent on these songs, his contributions have grown considerably since. In fact, only two songs from this album appeared on any of the subsequent live discs. But with musicians of the caliber and experience of bassist Kai Eckhardt, drummer Alan Hertz, and Fareed Haque on guitars, there is nothing tentative about this recording. Sounding like a combination of Return to Forever and the Mahavishnu Orchestra in their '70s heyday, Garaj's jazz-rock fusion requires chops and innovation to stay interesting and avoid aimless noodling. They succeed, and even though the primarily instrumental cuts average seven minutes each, they never become repetitious or overstay their welcome. All four musicians are extraordinarily talented, but each adds his own instrumental prowess without hogging the spotlight. Not surprisingly, Haque's guitar, especially his "sitar guitar," takes center stage and infuses an East Indian feel to songs like "Beware My Ethnic Heart." But he leaves plenty of solo space for Levy, whose fleet-fingered synthesizer work — reminiscent of Jan Hammer — trades licks with speed and precision on the opening funky workout "Mondo Garaj." Michael Kang (musician) of The String Cheese Incident is featured as are DJ Fly Agaric 23 and DJ Roto (a.k.a. musician/journalist James Rotondi) who add turntable scratching, loops, and samples to keep the sound contemporary, but this is really a showcase for the jaw-dropping talents of the four bandmembers. The band gels on all the tracks, but shows what it can do on "Hindi Gumbo," which features Haque's acoustic sitar/guitar solo. Nothing takes the place of seeing the band pull this off live, but Mondo Garaj provides a snapshot of how these four gifted individuals — each of whom could be a band leader in his own right — combine into a fine-tuned unit.
