"A man may die ; nations may rise and fall ; but an idea lives on !" - John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Ustad Jakir Hussain Saab was a Tablanawaz par excellence and was in a class by himself ! Regarding his attributes, it's the least said, the better ! He himself was his own introduction ! The illustrious career of Ustad Jakir Hussain Saab spanning over several decades will speak volumes about his abilities - as a musician of exceptional merit ! Let's bow our head in reverence to this legendary musician and noble soul for his impeccable track record and stupendous contribution to the World Of Hindustani Classical Music ! May the departed soul rest in eternal peace ! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
