In the west, with jazz you are expected to play these elaborate solos.

Namaste (also known as Namaste, India) is a collaborative studio album by American soft jazz saxophonist Kenny G and Indian musician Rahul Sharma.

The album was issued in two different formats in India (2011) and the United States (2012), with elements of both musicians' styles,[1] with original compositions by Sharma that contrast string instruments and woodwind instruments.

[3] Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3 out of 5 stars, with critic Thom Jurek writing about the American edition "sound[s] geared toward club music as a world fusion exercise throughout" and he praised Sharma's performance, hoping that "Western listeners will take notice of Sharma's talent and become interested enough to seek out the original mix of this record and his other albums to boot".

[1] A brief review from Selwyn Harris of Jazzwise scored this album 1 out of 5 stars.
