2013-05-22: Linked by @rajapundalik - Raag Abhogi-Kanada, Pt. Bhimsen Joshi, The Kirana-Gharana maestro sings Abhogi-Kanada, very rarely heard these days! Part of a live recording, the drut bandish set to Ektaal (fast-tempo 12-beat meter) is especially expressive. Accompaniment credits are unavailable but tabla sounds like Pt. Shashikant (Nana) Mulay. Enjoy Bhimsen-ji’s electrifying presentation…!!!

2013-05-21: Linked by @rajapundalik - Raag Darbari, Pt. Jasraj, Recorded in 1984, perhaps the best decade in the octogenarian performer’s life, this extremely contemplative Darbari is one of the best recorded by contemporary vocalists! Trademark usage of sargam unique to Mewati-Gharana, electric taan & wonderful bandishes embellish this all-time great recording. The khyaal is set to slow-tempo Ektaal (12-beat meter) & bandish is sung to mid-tempo Teen-taal (16-beat meter). Although accompaniment credits are unavailable, it is clearly Late Appasaheb Jalgaonkar on the harmonium. A recording for posterity indeed…!!!

On the harmonium is Late Ust. Mehmood Dhoulpuri. Listen to her legendary vocal range in the early moments of short aalap at the beginning - simply awesome…

2013-05-19: Linked by @rajapundalik - Raag Yaman, Vidushi Malini Rajurkar, I keep returning to Yaman, an eternally pleasant raag-matrix, time-n-again as if gravitated. This time it is a lovely taraana, without any of the aggression generally associated with this form of compositions, sung by Malini-tai, a Gwalior Gharana veteran! Accompaniment credits unavailable but sounds like Dr. Arwind Thatte (Samvadini) & Subhash Kamat (Tabla). Enjoy…

Here she presents a less-heard ‘Sadarang’ composition set to slow-tempo Roopak (7-beat meter). Begin your day with this mid-morning melody make it very special…!

Mehmood Dhoulpuri, an artist who lit up many a concerts with his feather-light fingers on this typically Indian instrument! Enjoy…

Here he plays a serene ‘aalap’ in Raag Puriya-Kalyan, a raag typically played during the sunset twilight zone - enjoy the waves of tranquility wash over you with this solo piece…!!!
