Who is the tabla player? This release originates during a time period when the identity of a given tabla player on an LP was a low priority for everyone except other professional tabla players. Feel free to purchase LPs from this seller, despite the fact that it will break my greedy heart (just kidding! Get them while they last!) Two or three wayward clicks were surgically removed using Audacity but otherwise this is a fairly quiet pressing (extremely quiet when one considers typical product from the factory in Dum Dum). My copy of this album came from a highly recommended seller with access to EMI new old stock and sports immaculate, highly glossy vinyl and a basically brand new outer sleeve.
Indeed, sharp-eyed viewers of the film "The Graduate" (1967) can see in one scene filmed in Berkeley, CA a concert poster for "Bismillah Khan and his 7 musicians." This particular album was released sometime after 1967 (likely 1975) because the notes mention a concert tour of the USA in 1967. Subbulakshmi and Ravi Shankar to be accorded this distinction. He was awarded India's highest civilian honor, the Bharat Ratna, in 2001, becoming the third classical musician after M.
He learned to play the shehnai (somewhat of an oboe-like instrument) at an early age but was able to do something no other shehnai player had done before: elevate the level of playing past that of a folk instrument most closely associated with wedding parties into a full-fledged classical instrument worthy of shining on the concert stage. Bismillah Khan (21 March 1913 – 21 August 2006) was born in Bihar.
