If I'm not mistaken this is from the Legacy album - you can search it on Amazon. I used to own this CD, have only since replaced the Journey CD, not this one.

If it's the US release I'm thinking of, then yes, lekin HMV ka label nahin hai. Anyways, I will be picking it up at some point, it's on my list, lol. Most of the American stores (not Indian stores) carry it here. Just search "legacy" and "ali akbar khan" there, wahin aap ko track list mil jayega.

I had bought this long ago for a friend, he wanted to listen to some Indian music. Last time when I as with him I borrowed it from him, to yeh gana us CD se aaya hai… CD is called "Guide to music of India and Pakistan", I think I have put that in tag. It is not HMV, If my memory serves me right I had bought this from borders, they have good collection of music. Since this CD had all classical number I ripped only 2 songs. One was this and other was of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Are CD ka kaya karma hai.. yeh gana direct CDQ me hai na…

Yes Marcilo is talking about the Rough Guide series - it an ever growing series of CDs seen in the world section of American music/book stores. They do Rough Guide Books to countries for travel purposes, and now have a music line as well. As you've probably figured out they are compilations of songs from other albums to give the uninitiated a wide spectrum look into the country's music. There is even a Rough Guide to Asha Bhosle now. You can search that info at Amazon too they have all the Rough Guide series and tracks.
On the other hand Legacy is on Ali Akbar Khan's own label, AMMP Records based out of the US (not far from where I live) which is probably the reason for its exorbitant price in India. Perhaps it has been released there under a different name, that often happens. The distributor for this label in India is Music Today and they are selling for 250 rupees on their website. Let me know if you need the link, I wasn't sure if it was appropriate for me to post it here.

Biography by Craig Harris
The son of influential Hindustani musician Allaudin Khan, Ali Akbar Khan is one of the Eastern world's greatest musicians. A master of the sarod, a 25-stringed, lute-like, Indian instrument, Khan has brought the Northern Indian classical music to the international stage. A five-time Grammy nominee, Khan was called, by Yehudi Menuhin, "an absolute genius, the greatest musician in the world." Tracing his ancestral roots to Mian Tansen, a 16th century musician in the court of Emperor Akbar, Khan began studying music at the age of three. Initially studying vocal music with his father, he studied drums with his uncle, Fakir Aftabuddin. Although he tried playing a wide variety of instruments, he felt most comfortable on the sarod. Training and practicing 18 hours a day, he slowly mastered the instrument. In 1936, he made his public debut during a concert in Allahabad. In the early '40s, Khan became a court musician for the Maharaja of Judhpur. He soon acquired the title "Ustad" (master musician).
In 1955, Khan accepted an invitation from Menuhin to perform in the United States. In addition to performing at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, he recorded the first Western album of Indian classical music and became the first Indian music on an American television when he appeared on Alistair Cooke's Omnibus. In 1971, Khan performed with his brother-in-law, Ravi Shankar, during George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh at Madison Square Garden. Khan received numerous awards including the President of India Award in 1963, the Padma Vibhusan in 1988, the Bill Graham Lifetime Achievement award in 1993, and the Asian Paints Shiromani Hall of Fame Award in 1997. He received the Kalidas Sanman from the Madya Pradesh Academy of Music And Fine Arts and became the first Indian musician to be awarded a MacArthur Foundation "Genius Grant" in 1991. Khan received a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts in 1997.
In 1956, Khan founded the Ali Akbar Khan College of Music in Calcutta. Teaching in the United States since 1965, he opened the Ali Akbar College of Music in Berkeley, CA, two years later. In 1968, the school moved to its present site in San Rafael. Khan teaches six classes a week for nine months a year. In the early '90s, the school opened branches in Fremont, CA, and Basel, Switzerland. The lengthy list of films featuring Khan's music includes Chetan Anand's Aandhiyan, Satyajit Ray's Devi, and Bernardo Bertolucci's Little Buddha. He received a Best Musician of the Year award for his soundtrack for the film Khudita Pashan.

App ne Sahi Farmaya Deewani ji.. it is indeed Rough Guide series and that was the only song of AB in that CD.
So this was picked up from CD by Ali Akbar Khan which has all AB numbers? That will be interesting

Yes, exactly! I had the CD but I gave it to someone and have not yet replaced it. The other Ali Akbar Khan CD I was referring to is called Journey - no Ashaji in that one - lovely lovely music for anytime, very peaceful. Sound production quality is excellent on both of those.
