Nivruttibua Sarnaik (1912-1994) - Cassette released in India in 1993 - AIR recordings from 1977

Here we present some AIR recordings, released as a cassette and also as an LP in 1993 by the great singer Nivruttibua Sarnaik, a direct disciple of Ustad Alladiya Khan. His style is a little eclectic as he studied also, amongst others, under Sawai Gandharva and Rajab Ali Khan. He formed many students, amongst them many became famous musicians.

This is - as far as I know - the only commercial cassette and LP by the artist. In 2015 Meera Music published four CDs, which can be bought in India from Sonic Octaves or downloaded from CD Baby in the US.

All India Radio (AIR) recorded him a lot and many of these recordings one can find now on YouTube.

With this post we close our series of older masters of the Jaipur-Atrauli Gharana for now.

Ravi Shankar & Ali Akbar Khan - Ragas - Double LP released in France in 1973

Here recordings which have been released quite a number of times by different labels with different covers. The same double LP was also published the same year (1973) with a different cover in the US. Originally the recordings were published as two individual LPs. The Jugalbandi LP was orginally released in 1960 in India as EALP 1251 (the very first LP published by The Gramophone Company of India) and in 1964 by Prestige in the US. There was also a widely distributed edition by Transatlantic Records in London from 1969. 

The second LP - a solo LP by Ali Akbar Khan - was orginally published in India in 1963 as EALP 1274 and in the US by Prestige in 1965.
The inside of the gatefold album only has advertising for other albums from the label. That is why we didn't scan it.
