It's always a privilege to listen to Ustad Shujat khan. While listening I recollect many live concerts I have attended of Shujat ji. Also I can never forget the live concert of ustad Vilayat khan sahab in 1980. Thankful to God who blessed me with the understanding of this divine music and life in the Era of these masters. Thanks for this classic upload. ❤
After the remastering and improved sound of this amazing performance, one can see how once upon a time was great and tayyar Shujaat Khan. His amazing jhala was out of this world for spontaneity, stamina and speed. Electrifying!! Words again fail to describe the greatness of Zakir. Just astounding!! No one will ever come close to his greatness where both solo and sangat is concerned. Subhanallah Allah for both!!
It's an interesting observation that Zakir just sits there for about 40 minutes just getting into the feeling and absorbs the vibes of the other musician before actually starting to get involved in contributing to the music with his wonderful playing. In western culture this would be considered absurd to have 2 musicians on stage and not have the other one play for half the set but i love it! The act of listening to the music becomes part of the performance and blends the boundary between audience and the performers!
Thanks for the upload! Both Ustads are amazing!! The fact that sitar could hold fort for 35 minutes on its own, making the great Zakir Hussain ji waiting is a testament to the quality of the Sitar baaja by Shujaat Khan ji
Umm. That’s a nice sentiment, but this is the standard practice in Indian classical instrumental music. The instrumentalist, say sitar or sarod player, will typically play a 30-40 minute alaap, unaccompanied by tabla. Only after that they will start the “gat” portion of the performance which is where the tabla player joins in. Any performance of Indian classical music will follow this format. It is nothing unique to Shujaat Khan-sahib or anybody else. All tabla players, Zakirji included; are expected to sit patiently and attentively while the alaap portion is going on.
Zakir is the combination of all the gharana of Tabla players of the generation's. The mastery, melodic variation and sweetness, sometimes feel may not be humanly possible. Flawless. God of Tabla.🙏🙏 Also my sincere thanks to Haidar Sab for bringing all such nearly lost live recodings. 👍👍

I noticed exactly the same thing. Both musicians are frustrated by the sound issues. Unfortunately I’ve seen this type of thing so many times in Indian classical music performances. Sound setup is often very haphazard and disorganised. It is a huge distraction for the musicians if they can’t hear themselves well through the monitors, or if there is too much echo coming back from the main sound system etc. Lay audience have no idea about the practical aspects of giving live music performances.
I just want to say something else here: why is it that organizers of our music concerts do not put the date and venue of events for viewers to see. For example, judging from how Shujaat looks in this video, this event must have been close to 20 or more years ago. It is important for dates and place of venues to be given for the sake of keeping historical records of musical events.
@@craiglistacct9070 Well said! I can’t believe the ignorance of such commenters who are falling over themselves to appreciate Zakirji’s “patience” to sit through the alaap. This is the standard practice for any Indian classical music performance! Not sure what to say to such people.
En effet, la musique comme toutes nos activités dites modernes évoluent vers une technicité qui s'éloigne de l'esthétique. Celle-ci illustre au contraire l'équilibre, la maîtrise à réaliser entre harmonie et technicité.
Indeed, just like all contemporary activities in our modern world , music is often taking a highly technical turn which alienates it from aesthetics. On the contrary, this piece is an illustration of how harmony and technicity can be happily balanced and mastered. [P.S. The "foreign" language was used to show that English is not the only language in the world, just like music is not limited to Western, Indian, or any other tradition. In the same way, I had asked that a comment in Hindi be translated into a European language].
+Paul Ghils yeah music is something extraordinary it need so much dedication to master any instrument or vocal. No, actually translator couldn't help to get the meaning. Good luck for music :)
Certainly, music is a unique human creation. What I meant is that some composers, for example in European contemporary classical music, tend to produce very abstract, almost mathematical pieces whose aesthetic component is impoverished by this a highly theoretical approach.

It’s mutual respect and a testemant to Zakirji’s humbleness.

It is divine, ethereal and an out of the world experience listening to these great masters of Indian classical music.

Great performance. It is always a devine experience while listening Ustadji and when ustad Jakir Hussain accompanies there will be no words.
His name is ZAKIR not Jakir!!

It is always to good hear serious Shujat Khansaheb. Tabla sound looks messed up. Zakir looks frustrated.

Masha Allah Fantastic

Very wonderful like to very nice and pleasure

Shujaat Khan & Zakir Hussain, moltes gràcies per aquest regal; Tan joves com sublims
Well, everything on youtube is monetized now :)
It apppears that ZH's ending at 50:57 caught Ustad Shujaat Khan with a surprise
Pure sweetness!
41:16 For those who came here for ONLY Zakir bhai... Good2 see gr8 patience of him.. Just to sit on stage for 41 looong minutes and wait for HIS TURN🙏
It is a testament to his humility, patience, ability to share the limelight and still shine himself!
You should then only listen to tabla. Dont waste time listening to beautiful aalap of Bageshree. You are not worth it

When and where the programme was rendered if any one can say !
In 1987 +\ _ 2 in East coast, New York.
aha:
Music factory.😅
sound quality is not good enough in comparison to music by ustadji.
sound system provided on the stage doesn't go with the quality of the musicians...
