Ah, Shiv Kumar Sharma! Thanks Sotise for posting this one! I'm the the biggest fan of Pandit-ji and I believe he's one of the very few real treasures of mankind still alive and well. Besides being such a divine musician, he is a humble, soft-spoken and sweet man and you can't help loving him. I discovered him way back in 1971 upon listening to George Harrison's epochal masterpiece “Wonderwall” (one of the ten albums I would take with me on the infamous desert island) and although I had just quit wearing short pants, I immediately realized that he was as big as, say, Ravi Shankar or Baba Allauddin Khan. If anyone of your valuable readers has the slightest interest in Indian classical music (which has many things in common with jazz, by the way) here's a jaw-dropping performance of Pandit-ji in Paris playing with his long-time partner Zakir Hussain (yes, THAT Zakir Hussain, the son of the great Alla Rakha). They play a Gat in Teental on Raga Bhimpalasi that will leave you speechless, and happily uplifted for hours. Promised. Such is the power of the greatest Indian music. Here's the link, and thank you again for this marvellous album that I only had in a scratchy mp3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF5LuibUpS0
