Indian music - Levy book

I've been catching up on the list and found this post from last March:

[frp, om Bill Alves]

On my recent trip to the States, I found this book at Theodore Front
in Van Nuys, California.  for US $38.50. (I can't give the exact
citation because they're shipping it and I probably won't get it
for a couple of months.)

I think I got the only copy on the shelf, but they could order it and
they have email, tfront@earthlink.net.

Best,

Lydia Ayers

That's true, and harkens back to Ivor Darreg's notion of moods: Even if
no one chord sustains long enough be evaluated in isolation, the
cummulative effects can still come through. But the tuning deviations have
to be fairly consistent for that to occur clearly.
