Please bag your knee-jerk disdain for the Grateful Dead and hippies in general for a minute. I feel your skepticism, but Dead drummer Mickey Hart has done some worthwhile music in the post–Jerry Garcia era. For instance, Hart’s latest ensemble with Zakir Hussain, Taufiq Qureshi, and other exotically named players rides hypnotic percussion excursions, Dilshad Khan’s blissful, glinting sarangi, and sage, inspirational male vocals (including some by the legendary Babatunde Olatunji) to a noncheesy place of profound peace. You can listen to Hart and Hussain’s Global Drum Project, get your gentle groove on, align your chakras, chant “om” till the gurus come home, and still respect yourself when morning yoga class rolls around.
