Sitar Quintet (1968), Ustad Abdul Halim Jafar Khan Options

[Mandrake]

In 1968, Ustad Abdul Halim Jafar Khan, along with his disciples, composed an album called 'Sitar Quintet' which had some truly off-the-path tracks.

The tracks were:
1) Chandani Kedar
2) Mazamiri
3) Khusrawani
4) Sharavati
5) Kalpana
6) Miya Malhar

Would anybody be having this album? It is not available in Mumbai or Pune.

Interesting recording and even more interesting is the album art. The recording is titled String "Quintet"; number of performers in the art are six; they are bounded by an octogon followed by a quadrilateral, which itself is surrounded by triangles.

Would love to listen to it.

Good observation, Anurag , except that the quintet remains a quintet - the sixth is the tabla player.

Surprising part is that Anurag, Bibhas and Unni haven't heard this? I cannot bring myself to believe this!!! I used to play one of the tracks on a bul-bul tarang!!! (Don't expect anything great to come out of it though )
