Hari Prasad Chaurasia & Zakir Hussain -- Musicals

Don’t think I can call myself a music fan but still have some lagaoo that I can talk about it.

Just wanted to know if someone else listens to the musicals of Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Zakir Hussain, Ustad Allarakha, Taufi, Fazzal, Nitin Shankar, John Mc Laughlin, Jan Garbarek … etc???

The best part about them is their flow and best blend of Sitar, flute & Tabla. Har Prasad & Zakir Hussain do it the best!

I listen to classical stuff sometimes when the mood takes me…Zakir Hussain is very good (but i like to listen to him when he is accompanying Pandit N. Sharma on the tampura)
..Hariprasad Chausaria? I have got an album of his…

But my fave. is Pandit Nikhil Bannerji (?) on the Sitar–simply amazing!! Esp. his Raag Bhimpalasri…wah wah!!

Also Mehdi Hassan’s classical ghazals in various raags are excellent.

I like raag miya ki malhaar, bhimpalasri, pahari, etc. v .much
