Description During times of social and political unrest, the great Mahatma Gandhi's example of peaceful protest now seems more important and relevant than ever. Along with thousands of fellow Indians rallying against European rule, his great Salt March of 1930 led directly to the granting of Indian independence and has become a testament to the power of civil disobedience. In this heartfelt tribute celebrating the 150th anniversary of Gandhi's birth, Ahimsa features original pieces from on of Australia's finest jazz composers Sandy Evans, inspired by the freedom fighter's writings and philosophy of non-violence.
