Thank You Tawfiq for another historic LP transfer/share! As a very *junior* tabla acolyte i think i have entered Swarga. Don't know how i missed this one before! You are doing a very important part in digitizing these historic LPs so that we may benefit from them!! --dandor
I'm still discovering gems in your bottomless library. I wanted to quote this about Ustad Ahmed Jan Thirakwa:
“You people perhaps have never had the good fortune to hear Rajab Ali Khali of Dewas. He was a wonderful singer, famous for his taiyari (speed). But he had a sly habit of accelerating the speed of his fast Khayal and keeping the poor Tabla-accompanist suspended in that awful tempo for a long time, while he himself would keep on singing in an easy, even tempo. One day he started this stunt on me. I thought of an equally cunning trick. Instead of sweating out the lightning laya, I really started accompanying his taans mathematically. This way I could go on playing the whole night without getting tired, but the singer would get tired very soon. Instead of getting irritated, Rajab Ali Khan appreciated my ingenuity, and we had a good laugh over it.” (Source)
Meanwhile, here's a student's recollection about Ustad Amir Hussain Khan: http://bandish.org/tribute.htm
