Amongst a batch of live recordings from Navras, this one has a special claim upon the attention of the non-specialist Western listener. It is released as a 70th birthday tribute for an eminent sitarist of the older generation, the recording made in 1968 when Jaffer Khan was at his peak. He is an individualist who produced a unique, personal style, adding techniques and methods of his own. There is a freshness and constant inventiveness in his improvisations, which spin marvellous webs and seemingly inexhaustible streams of sound, with a light touch and an element of fun in his audacious flights of fancy.

The recorded sound is fine and the notes succinct and useful. I believe you'll enjoy it, whoever you are!
