This may be my all-time favorite recording of Khansahab. One of the primary reasons is the extremely restrained accompaniment by pt. Chatur Lal. While many other great ustads accompanied Amir Khan, they often "boxed him in" with too many "filler" beats and adornments, often rushing the tempo. By contrast, Lal's nearly 1-second intervals between basic theka bols and nothing more, which he sustains with utter simplicity for a full 54 minutes, leaves Khansahab enough silence to create that transcendental feeling of infinite space which characterizes his very best work.
This may be the greatest Komal Asavri on record. It was sung for Jaipur All India radio barely couple of years prior to Khansahab’s unfortunate death. Subrata Babu, the music word shall ever remain beholden to you for this. Bless you !
I think this is the same Bombay concert that was released in the album "Taskeen". In Gujari Todi, he has also sung Amir Khusro's "man ke panchi bhae baavre" in teen-taal, which is not included in this version of the recording.
I have heard so much music may it be Carnatic, drupad or hindustani but never heard an artist as divine as Ustad Amir Khan Saab. Every time he moves you and transports you to a different world of pure bliss and spirituality. I agree with you completely Rafat Ji
this comment is correct. its clearly 13 beats. khali to sam is correctly 7 but sam to khali is being played in 6 beats making it 13. dha-titakit before khali is being played without dha. i concur with the comment
I may be wrong, but I think there is no surprise or impromptu in AK's rendering. His whole presentation may be new, but is always practiced, grammatical, logical, matching progression from a brilliant alaap to the gat, every step well planned, meticulously designed and appealing to higher senses, like an erudite professor of mathematics. He is never frolicky or uneven, ever serious, deep, refined and never indulges in dialogues with the tabla to entertain the audience. And if you get intoxicated with the highest sort of order , control and discipline in his immaculate voice, it will be very difficult to be infatuated by his other contemporaries. But again, don't expect anything totally unexpected or unique.
Very great performance by Khan Saheb. If we start Khan Saheb's music, it is indication that we are able now to understand the pure classical music. There can not be another Khan Saheb. Humble rezpects A Sa
Khan Sahab's presentations have surprise elements in sargams or taans. Aalap is so well designed due to riyaz, that it doesn't easily seems surprising. Everything is impromptu only ,nothing fixed.
I don't know what you mean by no surprise or impromptu, while our music itself is such. But yes what you caught on is quite bit correct, also the way you're describing his gayaki, is also based on this raag, otherwise his rendering of other raags like hansadhwani and jog. Of course his style is much like the deep ocean while being calm and serene, and that itself is a surprising thing.

Could you please add "Gujari Todi" to the end of the title?

Thank you. I was wondering what raag came at the end.
Wah!
His music is so spritual

Who made ACCOMPANIMENT on Tabla ?
I never knew there is also Jhomara Tal of 13 beats.
It is always 14. Never 13. Maybe you are counting it wrong!

True. Its textbookish like Rahul Dravid.
