What is also remarkable about Zakir is the person($) who understand its more than how his hands work but the animation of his hands and facial expression and the coming together, of both ! The joy and love you see you also feel! The trained technician enters here who thru timing lights and relationship with this performer and love comes thru the camera’s eye.
I chanced upon an audio cassette in early 80's with the title NATURAL ELEMENTS. My first intro to fusion music. Then I got the CD later, followed by the full collection of Shakti. MAKING MUSIC happened later. I am devastated by his departure. I saw him last a few months back, with Chenda vidwan Matannur in Mumbai. The best ever live concert I attended. Can't accept that he is no more 😢. None before, none after, in the world of music, as far as I am concerned 🙏
Hearing Zakir speak about his record with John McLaughlin, Hariprasad Chaurasia, and Jan Garbarek it dawned on me that its title was appropriate. "Making Music" as they created it in the studio on the spot. Just spontaneously creating music, or letting it reveal itself. That was great to hear. I've enjoyed that record since its release. 🕉 🎉
I saw Zakir play with Shivkumar Sharma on the santoor. At Hearst Theater in S.F. part of the Oprea Houss and Symphony Hall complex downtown. The concert was wonderful in this large space. Afterward, a mutual friend I played with studied with Zakir and was friends with him. He generously invited me into the artists dressing area. I walked in, and immediately, there was Zakir to the side sitting. I asked him how it was, and he quickly said to me, "Ask him." My friend. So he didn't seem to like that! But, I had been there. I didn't just come in needing to ask someone. I wanted to know how it was for Zakir himself! But the conversation ended abruptly. Anyway, I wanted to share that experience after hearing him speak now. 🕉 🙏
there is a sad or may be bad thing about Indian classical music ie it doesn't matters how good a student u r ,,,but if ur master is not from ur family or gharana u won't get everything from him.But a great teacher is someone who doesn't do partiality & treats his every student as equal.
The art of interviewing requires that the interviewer draws as much from the interviewee rather than dominate the conversation. A good interviewer is a good listener. To that end, Vijay did a great job.
My one and only celebrity crush ever. Talent, wisdom, humility and good looks all in one! Truly a legend ❤

Charles Lloyd: “Just tune your tablas to the key of the universe.” Maestro Hussain: “Ok, Bb.” Priceless! Check out the exchange starting at 1:02:25.
Wow...inspiring. Thank you.

Great to see all in white or all in black Ustad ji
Zakirbhai speaks through his nimble fingers so no other language is needed to communicate.
I was wondering what was missing in the performance at the beginning and I realised that there was no 'lehra' (or atleast it isn't audible).
Ye do log koi mahan murkh hai jinhone king of tabla ko unlike diya had hai yaar
levity is not vijay iyer's strong suit
Zakir great as usual.
vijay talked of them working together..did they release anything.. is it on RUclips ?
Wow

Good story for Ustad. But Vijay was just sitting there acting like he knew it all and has it all fegured out
I can't agree. I feel like he was being incredibly respectful and quiet while another master of an instrument spoke.
Vijay is just very reserved and somewhat aloof. But he's incredibly respectful

Why this guy is sleeping...! Gosh.. what a waste.
