@@lucpet95a lot of old guys (particularly boomers) tend to stick to their own. Most Millenials and Zoomers can’t tolerate them, so they also kinda band together. There’s a huge divide in the music world (really everywhere) between when they made “good music” and whatever is out there now. Rick is doing a great job of bridging the two, both for the sake of the younger generations, the older generations, and just anyone uninformed in or out of the music world.

Mohini became huge in the Indian scene when she performed with AR Rehman on Coke Studio India. She was probably 15 and part of an ensemble of some of the best musicians in India.

Indian classical music is always about improvisation on stage. Conversation she refers to is this improvisation. It is rather usual to see one Musician taking the song in a particular direction and then others just go mad improvising. That is a conversation piece. It is different from playing a set song, there is beauty of familiarity there but musicality is limited to how tight you are as a band, small improvs here and there and how good the composition is. Her concerts do not have much familiarity but for the start

I can tell it's been a journey and yet, she seems to have a maturity and clarity about her emotions that I can only wish we all had. This interview was delightful and reminded me of my own father.

@@crystalwaters8852Why? the Indian subcontinent has an incredibly rich musical history. Not only that, but there are some incredible collaborations and new music which comes out of there. Check out Coke Studio (Pakistan, India, And Bangla). Have you ever heard of Ms Marvel? One of the most famous songs from there comes from Eva B, a musician from Pakistan. One of Asia’s first bands come from West Bengal - Mohiner Ghoraguli in the 70). They were revolutionary at a time when soundtracks from movies ruled the music industry. A progressive rock band, Qayyas, was the first Pakistani rock bands to play at SXSW. Rock On, a movie based on a band, was featured on Rolling Stones. Another Bengali band, Bhoomi, became one of the only Indian bands who had a song for the United Nations. I can go on.

Fantastic Interview. Mohini Dey is not only a fantastic bass player, she is also a very entertaining storyteller w/ lot of humor and human radiation. A joy to listen to her. Cheers from Bavaria.

Love that she opens by talking about the Bengali love of arts. It’s in our blood. So happy to see her enjoying global success, long may it continue.

Yes truly. But I want to say something that I believe. Her father, that is Mohini's father seems like a very strong headed person. I think Mohini should actually consider her extended family's intentions to safeguard her from being indoctrinated to play the bass. It seems that they were concerned about her. I think many parents may fall into the trap of trying to live their dreams through the children, almost not leaving any room for the child to grow and have their own dreams. Maybe she should consider that - it could be a possibility. A child must show interest in something, before we set about exploring how deep their love for it is.

What an incredibly talented and charming woman she is. Also, her attitude and work ethic are glowing. Great interview.

She is not just an incredible player, she is also an incredible teacher. She really makes sense and can explain in a way that everyone (even non-musicians) is capable to understand and be amazed at the same time.

Absolutely brilliant interview, Rick!!!! I love that you just let people talk and your follow Qs are so insightful. And I loved seeing your joy as she just whipped out a Victor Wooten and started playing it as easily as she ran through her scales and modes and effects pedals. Brilliant talent she is!!!! Good luck with the move Mohini!!!

Great interview......I'm in Atlanta and am looking forward to seeing Mohini wherever she may be performing.

For someone who claims she doesn't like to talk much she certainly has the gift of the gab. Mohini is such an incredibly gifted and talented musician. I really appreciate that in spite of her incredible facility that what motivates her is melody, soul, feel, and groove.

I already knew she was an amazing world-class bassist. But I'm so pleased to see how classy, smart, well-spoken and impressive she is as a person. I wanted to take a nap just from hearing her describe all the different ventures she's involved in.

What a story! Love Mohini and her sister Esani. Finally you are in the US! All the best!

I love everything about this, but what I love most of all is the smile that completely takes over her face as soon as she starts playing.

Fantastic interview. It is rare to hear an artist be so honest, and one understands that we are dealing with a human being with a beautiful soul. Never heard of her, although I know several of the people she has played with, but she is clearly one of the best bass players in the world.

Omg what an awesome interview. Thank you. Mohini Dey is amazing!!! Wow wow wow 💖💖💖

Absolutely admire the clarity and precision of her thoughts and her playing! Also love the way she translates Indian polyrhythms on to the bass for the western listener (these rhythms are commonplace in Indian music). There are in fact are beat cycles like Sare-panch (five and a half beats) or Sare-Na (nine and a half beats). Indian percussion go to such incredible complexity and depth, very glad that a virtuoso like Dey is embracing and incorporating these into a western instrument for a wider audience.

Great interview Rick! I had seen a few of her older videos- which I found very impressive; but this interview gave me a glimpse into her amazing soul! Also cool to hear about her upbringing. Radiant being!

Another brilliant interview! Thank you for bringing this amazing young person to our attention. She has a new fan as a result.
