Sanjay first came to public acclaim for his album Blue Incantation with guitarist Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead. It is one of Mr.Garcia's rare collaborations in his later years and represents some of his last works.
 
His latest CD Chateau Benares (October 2006) with guest appearances by DJ Logic and Keller Williams among others, was received with rave reviews on National Public Radio and in The Washington Post.
 
He has also composed music for films. His score for the French film Port Djema received a "Lifetime Vision Award" at The Hamptons International Film Festival in New York (Stephen Speilberg-Chair). The film was also awarded The Silver Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival.
 
Sanjay primarily records on Akar Music, distributed by City Hall Records, San Rafael, California. His music has also been released on PolyGram, Philips, EMI, Mercury, Ryko, Putumayo, Melodia and other labels. Sanjay is the author of Guitar Atlas: India, a book and CD published by Alfred Publishing.
