Most of the music featured here is taken from what I consider to be his best and most inspired albums: Caravanserai, Welcome, Lotus, Illuminations (with Alice Coltrane), Love, Devotion, Surrender (with John McLaughlin).
I was always fascinated by his conversion from rockstar to devout follower of an Indian guru, and his coincident shift towards jazz.
I should probably credit my interest in eastern philosophies to him as well.
