More Info:
Korla Pandit was the stage name for John Roland Redd, St. Louis born composer, organist, pianist and early television pioneer. Dubbed "The Godfather of Exotica," the turban topped Pandit created eerie background music for radio's occult adventure series, "Chandu the Magician" on his Hammond C-3 and Nova Chord organs. He was soon featured on his own television show, "Korla Pandit's Adventures in Music" which debuted in 1949 on KTLA in Los Angeles. Pandit recorded several theme oriented albums over the course of his career featuring exotic sounds and eccentric effects. The Grand Moghul Suite is an exotic sonic adventure featuring Pandit's organ in a decidedly other-worldly mood focusing on Eastern themes. All selections newly re-mastered.
