Harry Manx has been putting his own personal spin on the blues for some time now, serving up his distinctive and hypnotic brew of Eastern and Western sounds to audiences worldwide. Combining the sensuality of traditional blues with transcendent Eastern sounds has become his trademark. It's in a live setting that this bridge between "heavenly" India and "earthy" American blues is most effectively built.

CBC Producer Todd Fraracci collected a unique array of musicians for a special concert event entitled "Heaven and Earth - Harry Manx and Friends" at the Glenn Gould Studio in March of 2007 to further explore this delicate balance. Matching the eclectic influences on Harry's music, he is joined here by a dazzling array of musicians that perfectly complement his style, allowing the music to successfully venture all over the world map.

reviously recorded material is presented with added dimensions, producing new revelations that occur with each listen. Never before has this configuration of musicians been captured live; "Live at the Glenn Gould" represents the best of their one-of-a-kind collaboration. This is Harry as he is best digested, serving the musical palate of his devoted audience.
