All Blues

All Blues is a track by Indian percussionist and composer Trilok Gurtu, featured as the tenth composition on his 2013 studio album Spellbound. Released on April 19, 2013, under the independent label Moosicus Records, the album adopted a CD format and showcased Gurtu’s fusion of Indian classical rhythms with contemporary jazz and world music elements.

The track spans 6 minutes and 41 seconds, reflecting Gurtu’s signature approach to percussion and improvisation. While the album’s liner notes and official documentation do not specify the exact instrumentation or collaborating artists for this track, Gurtu’s broader work on Spellbound incorporated a blend of traditional Indian instruments, electronic textures, and Western jazz harmonies. The composition title references the jazz standard All Blues by Miles Davis, though Gurtu’s interpretation recontextualizes the piece within his distinct rhythmic and melodic framework.

Spellbound marked Gurtu’s continued exploration of cross-cultural musical dialogue, building on his earlier collaborations with artists across jazz, fusion, and global traditions. The album received distribution primarily in physical CD format, with limited details available on subsequent digital releases or alternate editions. The label Moosicus Records, known for its focus on experimental and world music projects, supported the production and promotion of the record.

Critical reception and commercial performance metrics for Spellbound remain undocumented in widely accessible sources. Gurtu’s discography, however, consistently emphasizes rhythmic innovation and the integration of diverse musical languages, with All Blues serving as an example of his adaptive reinterpretation of established jazz repertoire.
