Ustad Zakir Hussain | A phenomenal solo in taal Roopak (7 beats) | Gurupurnima 2019

Shri. Ajay Joglekar ji on Harmonium.
This was at the yearly Gurupurnima concert (2019).

33:00 - 33:30 "Have some patience, I know exactly what I am doing!" :-)

[@suvrat]

:) It was truly breath taking! Also the composition from 36:45. The small modification makes it so much more elegant!

[@anamay01]

@@suvrat Absolutely! :)

[@Prof_Hazra_IIT]

@@suvrat Probably the finest example of upaj ang chakradaar. What he says and what he does are different, if we closely observe. As well, the three pallaas of the chakradar end with different improvisations...amazing !. Only Ustadji does it with aplomb, whereas others are always stuck in the grammatical roots of playing same pallas religiously all the time. This is an ultimate example of how to liberate tabla from the shackles of defined textbook norms. I doubt whether many purists still frown over it. But who gives them a damn anyway !!. This is creationism of highest order. Suvrat-ji may kindly rectify my statement, if you think I am wrong here.

[@suvrat]

@@Prof_Hazra_IIT you are absolutely right sir! :)

From the tabla to his sense of humour everything is world class!!! #Waahustad!

[@marffvmarffv5438]

As European people I'm I do not understand classical music BUT I salute this amazing sound quality. Crystal clear tone just love it for this reason simple as that. Thank you, merci and love from France.

[@khalsafauj1245]

Completely improvised, that is tabla, he's sitting there with years of focus and creating on stage all his phrases. I loved how he thought out the paltas and played straight away. This is level of work without rehearsing beforehand is mind-blowing.

[@tablawithluqmanzia]

O just amazing!!! Can't say any a word because word are smaller then his highness!!! Love from Pakistan ❤❤❤❤❤

[@udbhav_arya]

I don't know anything but his "dhin kra dhin dha" is enough to describe him

Man! That take off at 4:46.. If I were at that concert, mera paisa to yahi pe wasool ho jata!

[@ninadsadaphal]

Don't know of many people who start with a Dha, One of the first syllables and the jugalbandi of the Tabla and Dugga. That is Ustaadji for you! Suvrat bhai, you've uploaded something priceless!

[@shellyspiano]

Thank you Suvrat!! Another example of the sense of humour and humility of this genius of rhythm.

[@amruthkumar646]

Absolute masterclass by Zakirji 🙏...Fantastic upload as always 🙌..Why is it that a KZbin post can be "liked" only once!

It's highly possible to overlook the focus and concentration Ajayji maintained in all this Tabla complexity

[@kingshookbiswas8217]

Dear Suvrat, Thank you so so much for all the videos you upload of Ustadji's performances, especially the solo on Gurupurnima each year. Every year since 2012 I have been eagerly awaiting and watching the Gurupurnima solos which you upload, and they are truly very special, even by Ustadji's very high standards. Each year Ustadji presents so many new ideas and ways of improvising and presenting a tabla solo, it is an intense learning experience, giving us a masterclass to slowly digest each year. I am sure that these videos of yours will be regarded as archival treasures for many generations to come, and for your efforts, patiently filming the master for all of us to enjoy and learn from, my sincere gratitude. Thanks again, and look forward to Gurupurnima 2020 :)

[@suvrat]

The pleasure is mine! :) Completely agree on how he presents so many different ideas in every gurupournima solo.

[@wasifali5588]

Wah waa very nice

[@digantt]

Suvrat.. what was the context of that 'we are performers, not artist' joke? Did anyone say that earlier?

[@suvrat]

Hari ji had come to the concert and someone asked theoretical and boring questions to him; one of which was "What's the difference between a performer and an artist?". Message me on WhatsApp and I'll tell you who the person was! 😉

[@MrUtoobee]

Great camera work.

[@suvrat]

Haha! I hope this is sarcastic! 😛

[@MrUtoobee]

@@suvrat I broke ten tablas in my mind before writing this bold statement. Its not just sarcastic, its sarcastic in bold. You can't do things with your camera that Zakir ji does with the Tabla. It just doesn't blend you see.

[@MrUtoobee]

I think there was response from Mr. Parth Tarabadkar which he probably deleted. However, i can read it in my notifications. Parth, the comment was in Jest and I was not being disrespectful to Suvrat in anyways. Its called humor. In Zakir ji's words only a good human being can become a great artist. I have not forgotten those words. But if it has come across as negative instead of funny to you(like Zakirji i don't have a youtube comment mic to make it sound funny you see) or Suvrat, I am sorry and just like you and everyone else, i am equally thankful to Suvrat for recording this video, which in my opinion is the funniest mood that I have seen Zakir ji in. Looks like my attempt to be funny as Zakir ji didn't work out that well. But hey I ain't Zakirji.

[@gurveersingh7461]

@@MrUtoobee Actually I found it funny bhai. Zakir ji loves sarcasm. Apologies to anyone who may find it disrespectful 😁

[@MrUtoobee]

@@gurveersingh7461 Haha. Thanks, Gurveer. Absolutely, I am sure if Zakir ji reads the comment he will surely crack one as well. Although, I had posted this 7 months ago, its still fresh in my mind how Parth's comment had come as a surprise or should I say shock to me. However, it helped me understand that unless you have achieved a certain stature in your life, your words/humor won't be consumed and or appreciated in the way someone who has achieved that. So I thank Parth for helping me realize that. By the way STAY SAFE AND STAY AT HOME. Ghar par hi kar Keherwa ya Rela Mat nikal bahar aur Virus Faila

Thanks for the upload. Only complaint: Why the fuck were you laughing during the performance? When you record performances for public display, remember to keep shut throughout them. Or at least do not giggle.

Will try to do that. Sorry.
