Raga Chhayanat - Dixon Lane Live Concert - by Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan sahab

[@mem1001953]

We human, have the habit of calling God when ever we cannot explain. Entire childhood lost in riyaz and riyaz. Beatings from father and grand fathers, uncles. Then again the same. Whole life dedicated to riyaz and riyaz. And one bade gulam Saab performs. Music lovers enjoy and express. Great!

I was fortunate to attend this programme at 26 Dixon lane in the fifties, as a member of the Jhankar music circle. Arunava

God gave this kind of a voice to only one person. Nobody came close to him at his prime.

[@satishkumarshukla9552]

A Sovereign casting about looks around his super music kingdom! Kings may here bend to their knee, Queens bow, and a poor man exult at his ‘compatriot’ risen to the very sky heights of the sweetest to ear, heart, mind, and soul our Maharishis created high art.

[@r8rdarklord]

Thank you for posting this. I just had parts of it. Also, I would like to point the humility of Khan Saheb where he deflects all the credit for himself to the almighty. No wonder, we will never see the likes of BGAK saheb again.

[@acct123as3]

sir, can you please tell the difference between ustad bgak gayaki and mallikarjun mansur gayaki..i found more effective rendition is from mallikarjun..his taans are more crystal clear than ustad bgak, his swar and laya mix has a better flow than ustad bgak, but for the emotional part and vocal octave range ustad bgak excels, ..but mallikarjun mansur and kesarbai , kishori amonkar better than ustad bgak in style of singing, the taans, swar and laya..the taans of mallikarjun mansur ji is not like ustad bgak, ustads taans are like flat ones, but mansur jis, taans are clearcut and more akaar..how can you differenciate it

[@r8rdarklord]

@@acct123as3 What you have enumerated is the stylistic difference between Kasur - Patiala style of singing & Jaipur Atrauli style. Some would disagree that Mallikarjun was not the pure Jaipur Atrauli style as architected by Ustad Allah Diya Khan. Now Ustad BGAK was one of a kind because even though he represented Patiala Gharana his singing was very different from the other Patiala scions e.g. Ashiq Ali Khan, etc. His singing borrowed heavily from Gwallior & Delhi Gharana. There is a Baithak episode where Ajoy Chakrabarti discusses the finer elements of Ustad BGAK's singing with examplles. Regarding purity of the swar & taans - I think Ustad BGAK was pretty clear except in his later recordings after paralysis - also Malikarjuna was recorded in better studios than Ustad BGAK. The other significant difference is Malikarjuna Mansoor true to Jaipur Atrauli tradition used Amad taans more hence use of tihai etc, was less.

[@acct123as3]

@@r8rdarklord sir, but i feel the flow of the singing styles of mallikarjun mansur, kesarbai kerkar, and later Shruti sadolikar, etc have a much higher quality in their swar laya combination..and of course they can't beat ustad bgak in vocal range or the emotions or the speed of taans etc...but the flow is quite elequent and inimitable for the jaipur atrauli..and the taans are very clear than the Patiala guarana..for example the raga nayaki kanada by ubgak available in KZbin with 42 minutes duration, is quite different in its flow and taans and even the tune, than the nayaki kanada by mallikarjunji, or kesarbar kerkar, or shruti sidolkar,.. yesterday i was continuously listening to those audios..that is why i felt the quality difference between them and ubgak..

[@r8rdarklord]

@@acct123as3 I would urge you to listen to Ustad BGAK's Sadra in Rag Adana. The Bandish is in veer ras & apparently been converted from Dhrupad: "Ram chadho ranveer randheer...". The Jaipur Atraulli Gharana folks wouldn't even attempt such a bandish. I would also like to say that they excel in madhya laya plus the bols of their sthayi & antara are smaller in comparison hence sounds lot more repetitive. Kishori Amonkar tried to change that but she is an anomaly rather than the rule. Now this is not a criticism but an indication of features in their singing.

[@acct123as3]

@@r8rdarklord sir..in this link..kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHTFpY1uYtGEra8.. From the 33rd minute there khan Saab starts an Adana.. Is that the one you mean.. And that one is an inimitable rendition with much domination over the raag..with taans, etc.. But the nayki kanada preceding that Adana is quite different ..
