Salil Chowdhury was born on 19th November 1922 (although his year of birth is disputed and often published as 1923 or 1925) in a village called Gajipur in south 24-parganas in West Bengal and died on September 5, 1995.
To me Salil was a true genius. His untimely and sudden death on September 5, 1995 was a great shock to many and a great loss to India.
He was one of the greatest musical talents India ever had, a man of many talents. He was not only an outstanding composer, an accomplished and gifted arranger, poet and writer but above all an intellectual. A master multi-instrumentalist, he played excellent flute, Esraj, violin and piano , with a deep and well-studied understanding of several other instruments as is evident from their creative use in his music.
