Thanks for your comment. What was your fathers name and when did he learn from Ustad Ilyas Khan Saheb? If you can share any pictures or recordings please drop me a line: matyasitar@gmail.com
There is much to admire in the clear and even articulation of bols coupled with the natural lilt in a raga like Kafi. And of course sangat by Pt. Samta Prasad shows why he was one of the most sought accompanists of the time. Thank you for this gem.
Matyas - very good, thanks. a request. I saw documentation on Jadavpur Univ site stating Ut. Irfan bhai has donated a good num of Ilyas Khan/Umar Khan records to them. pl post a few good ones from those archives if you can
