Ustad Zakir Hussain - Tintal Tabla Solo - Kolkotta

On the occassion of Pandit Anindo Chatterjee's birthday, Ustad Zakir Hussain was invited to perform a tabla solo at the Ramakrishna Mission in Kolkota. In this solo, Zakir-ji plays many traditional compositions. Ramesh Mishra does a superb job accompanying on sarangi.

[@infotainmentpoetry]

i heard so many top tabla players like ustad shaukat,, ustad tari, ustad tafu, anindo chatter ji, kumar, yagosh, so many countless ustad tabla players all are great in their work,,,,,, but there is a great difference between ustad zakir hussain and others but the priciosity ,, accuracy. and divinity all is in only ustad zakir .... great great tabla player of the world .... practically and theoretically .........wao amazing tabla

This is my 15th Comments here. 29 to 33 min is just inexplicable. I have heard cassettes of Ustad Habubuddin Khan and Great Thirkwa Khan Saheb. Keeping all of them ahead in the history of Tabla, I think this is most high class and classical Tabla Solo played. Uploaded in U-tube History . I have once heard Zakirs solo Ahmedabad Jan 97. He is just flawless. Clarty, Quality, Speed, Improvisation and Variation, Direct Disciple of Goddess Swaraswati

[@dsweedler]

At 27:30 minutes Usted Zakir Hussain begins to tune his daya tabla (right hand tabla) with a small hammer. His tuning is part of the performance and is in anticipation of the next three minutes of tabla mayhem. Imagine western musicians tuning their instruments in the middle of a solo performance and making it a part of the composition.

Trust me Guys, entire next generations will learn Zakir Hussain's Tabla and will try to decode . This must be kept in golden archive in Universities. I am writing it with authenticity and responsibility that Ma Saraswati of Tabla. Once Zakir said in a function with Sultan Khan with a Sanskrit sloka of Ma Saraswati that we play and worship Ma and make flower bouquet . 👍👍

[@Prof_Hazra_IIT]

Absolutely...Even now at the age 69 he continues to surprise audiences with high IQ upaj, breathtaking sounds and amazing layakari. However, not a lot of people process that stuff with right attitude and honesty and end up criticizing Ustadji for not being traditional.

this is my 30th comment may be. Alla Rakha used to chant Tabla boles taking little Zakir in his arms, now those are coming out in golden words or sound. Having played Tabla for 22 years I would say this is The Best demonstration from Zakir and Must be in University Archival for next generations. I would suggest all of you must see the Speaking Hand documentary on Zakir. If I have been inspired on tabla , personal and professional life on commitment, passion , learning and stay humble, he is perfect example. Ma Saraasari has descented in this formation. i have seen him flawless. He has played this for Ustads not for common people. All rella kaida very well articulated with sound quality tonal variation improvisation. I am.lucky he is in our time though two decades senior.

No. Sometimes people are NOT idiots and have manners. They show these manners by NOT INTERRUPTING a maestro's performance by putting out random noise like clapping in the middle of the show. They show their appreciation in the end by giving the performance a standing ovation. That's called manners. That's called Tameez. If you need further proof...there were other maestro's in the audience as well. In the front row if you noticed the beginning of the video. They showed the same manners.

[@soumenb22]

I have already commented may be more than 20 times. Not only Zakir has God gifted power, sound quality, improvisation beat and off beat combination. He completely mixes his playing with the instruments. Most importantly variety of instant composition. Zakir was my inspiration in my second phase of Tabla. Apart from his untiring love and hardworking, if you watch his many interviews , he is so humble and being in such height of success, still he always treat himself a learner. He is taught by his father and in his DNA is that always treat yourself as student. Never show off as master that will stop learning and make a person pompous and critic. This is a great leadership attribute that I have learned.

All of Indian Classical music is based on a steady pulse. It is like the canvas on which they improvise and tell a story. Try to listen to the accompanying instrument, in this case the sarangi, and keep the beat on that cycle. Then keeping this beat, listen to what the tabla playing is doing. Will be a little difficult at first but it will open you up to higher levels of appreciation for this art form because you will start to see some of what is happening.

[@nirmallotay8101]
