Ustad Shujaat Khan Shree Partho Sarathy Yaman Jugalbandi

[BABAMUGHALBABASAHEB]

Partho JI = a force to be reckoned with

[jpandyaraja]

this man has no equals....he understands how to blend perfectly ..

[baydnina]

This looks most like Ranajit Sengupta (Rana) and NOT ParthaSarathy.

[mskhansitar]

Masallah Kya bat !

[rituparna09]

the sarod is rubbish! sitar is beautiful...

[paagaldas]

Did someone in the audience offer Partho jee iodine and gauze after the concert?

[configmap]

Both artists are amazing. It is so nice to listen to Rag Yaman played so beautifully. Thanks for posting the video.

[MrHtanna]

Great!! The Great!!

[guruji1]

If Shujaat is a legend...then who are Vilayet ji..Ravi Shankar ji ? Don't DEGRADE this title just like that.....Shujaat is a good sitar player & that's all....LEGEND  is something else....& KOI BHI "LEGEND" BAAN NAHI SAKTA...

[girishragini]

I was at a live concert of Ustad Shujat Khan today in Seattle area..only time will tell you if he is a legend...and also know that just by labeling one"Guruji1", doesn't make any idiot a GURU....

[jpandyaraja]

@guruji1 but i do think shujaat is a legend......he is much more forthcoming with his style than pastmasters

were.......and he understands the mood of the time much better.....you dont have to be old or dead to be

a legend ....Shujaat has more than earned that title

[thelenious]

Shujaat Khan is the living legend - parvez, das, chaudhary are unbelievable players, absolute. but no one has this charisma while playing like shujaat khan -

[ayondeep]

Are you sure the sarod player is Partho Sarthy and not Ranajit Sengupta?

[voxtabla]

Sarod player is definitely Partho Sarothy

[princessjesus]

shujaat khan is totally "top tier" i think its fairly obvious theyre just playing around with this simple gat and having fun with it

[27jackets]

I'm NOT saying that these guys are bad, but not top tier

but just a bit below

[27jackets]

Stony, Im sorry but looks like ur the one who's ininformed!

In the indian classical firmmiment in Mumbai and Kolkatta

These two are NOT top tier!!

A ggod example of top tier sitarists would be Shahid Parvez, Kushal Das, SHubhroto Roy Chaudhary,

As far as Sarodists are concerned its AAshish Khan, Brij Narayan, Amjad ALi KHan and Tejendra Majumdar

If you listen to what they are playing you'll hear its relatively simple stuff. A basic Yaman gat in simple rythm.

CInt on next post

[Subodas]

The gat start on the unusual point of the 3 matra.

[paagaldas]

What contrasting capabilities!

[TimTimmenycharoo]

what does the word Gharana mean? at a gues id say its styles or schools of playing?

[stoney68]

In indian classical music a gharana is basically a "school" of a particular style. They are musical lineages following a particular musical style. Some gharanas play a "Mine is better than yours" game of rivalry. It is silly but very human. These two players are from two of the biggest rival gharanas.

[stoney68]

The beauty of this performance is that it is a meeting of gharanas. Does not happen often mostly because of EastCoast/WestCoast style "we are the only valid gharana" bullsh#%. Enjoy this and praise their open minds and huge talent.

[stoney68]

Please!!!, if you are going to say either of these players are anything but top level players you are totally uninformed or maybe high. Both of these players are considered by the general ICM community as unquestionably great players. If you think you know enough about ICM to criticize them you are either ignorant, or you are a gharana bigot that cannot accept the greatness of players from other gharanas.

[SitarMusic123]

Shujahat is brilliant sitar player,,,

[gangotry]

Please add more and more such great music!

[StevenBhullarSr]

Give me more Parth Sarathy, he is quite good. Shujaat is talented but lack of talim has done him in, that's why he has to play other's composition.

[sitariya]

Weird statement. This is really nice composition and it is good to see he is open to playing it.

[kamalhyder]

It is Khansahib's inner security that allows him to play a composition from another gharana. How many musicians do you know who would do that?

[iloveagoodbrew]

Tbats nonsense. Its time we moved away from archaic principles. Shujaat Khan is a stalwart of the sitar, gharana snobbery aside.

[souravbrata]

fortunately iwas preswnt at the concert where my guruji great artiste of imdadkhani ghrana pt. kashinath mukherjee and great artist of patiala gharana vidushi meera banerjee were on the first row in chair. it is aconcert at music loverand noble organise shri jayanta chatterjee's house [sunny towers]

[scottybuddha]

is this parthosaraty or ranajitsen gupta??? looks like ranajet!!

[kamalhyder]

This is Partho Sarathy.

[gurubhai]
