@@foresthill8462 Right you are. I tried locating it there too but to no avail. My hunch is this is a Jaipur bandish, which means BSJ may have got it from Kesarbai. Need to get the lyrics from a Jaipur guy ig.

I have reverentially heard this rendition so many times and it brings me so much peace! It is amazing how many times Bhimanna attempts the sargam that Abdul Karim Khan Saheb sang in his famous LP recording of the same Jhinjhoti thumri. Each time he tries it, he sounds beautifully complete yet one can sense his wanting to sing that sargam just like his dada guru and arrive at sam at the end of it. Having tried more than five times through this rendition before this point to no avail, he finally seems to get it at 1:05:43. In the bargain, listeners like us get a sargam feast! So much to learn from this unwavering resolve of this genius!

[@FarhanAmin1994]

Perfectly observed, Desai ji! 🥰

This darbari remindes me the Lahore Lal Fort Shish mehl, We daily use to go there and i used to listen the Raag Darbari by Nazakat Ali Salmat ali 1956 uploaded by Subrata Chouwdry... Same feeling i am feeling here, Same night darkness, Same tanpura sound, same tabla, Same lonliness, same mind feelings... I am totally unexpressable here.... I will say only one world... I can feel the Empror time...

[@ChinmayaIyer]

Thanks for the lovely upload. But I have a doubt, whether this recording is really from 1969? Because Joshi Ji's voice tonality and style of singing in this recording sounds more like his voice and style from around the late 70's.

[@FarhanAmin1994]

Could be a case of mislabeling then. I received these with a 1969 label.

[@ketankalgi7348]

Does the Shuddha Kalyan composition belong to the Jaipur-Atrauli Gharana? I have heard a recording of Surshri Kesarbai on youtube sing the same 'Eri Mayi Piya...' in Shuddha Kalyan. Also I haven't heard this Bandish sung by other Kirana stalwarts.

[@FarhanAmin1994]

Possibly!

[@FarhanAmin1994]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYjCZnyHiLyZodE Here, you can see that he talks about an interaction with Kesarbai while he was a young man. Maybe he learnt this bandish (and others?) during that period. Have never heard his Kafi Kanada, though.

[@ketankalgi7348]

Yes. I have watched this interview clip. I think Bhimsenji used to sing some compositions from the Jaipur Atrauli gharana. Another such example is 'Tu Ras Kaan re...' in Durga raag.

[@FarhanAmin1994]

@@ketankalgi7348 Indeed! Perhaps also the Savani, of which he has a recording from the 80s-90s (available on KZbin). I wonder what all he got from her.
