Sometime ago I was given this tape of two songs sung by Kesarbhai Kerkar by a friend in Sydney. There is a song in Malkauns (something like 'teri san meet') and one in Gaud Malhar. The first time I listened to the Mal Kauns, I was driving and had to stop the car on the side. The rendition brought tears to my eyes and I could not concentrate on the road. I get goose bumps every time I listen to this recording. Kerkar's emotional voice quality, her clarity and gamakas in the fast akara passages, the sruthi suddham....I could go on and on. Wonder if there are other recordings available ? (Coolji ?)

Hello Ramnath, the two songs by the great Kesarbai Kerkar are on a double CD pack CDCMC182505-06 released by EMI RPG, India, Title Chairman's Choice, Great Gharanas Atrauli Jaipur. CD 1 has 14 gems by Kesarbai and the second CD has two tracks by Mallikarjun Mansur (raga Bihagda) and Nivruttibua Sarnaik (raga Shuddha Kalyan). Malkauns is a great raga, one of my favourite and one of the most popular. I have several Malkauns both Vocal and Instrumental. The vocal Malkauns I have are

I am an attorney in New York, and I saw that you mentioned in a different post that you have a friend in New York whose family interacted with Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. My father learned under a student of the maestro, and I would be very interested in contacting your friend and hearing more of his stories about BGAK. I would be forever grateful if you could contact me at SomB1@yahoo.com.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Som
That story was part of a folklore, conveyed through another friend (not in NY).That circle is a very exclusive one and beyond the reach of humble folks like me.I Only manage to get some stories and rare recordings through those contacts.More through Email.

Coolji,
thanks very much....that was a beautiful Kedar and an intriguing (for me) sampoorna kauns. Kerkar's richly gifted voice has that emotional quality that bowls me over every time. The akaras in Kedar were simply breathtaking, especially from the 19th minute...what a weight or gathra even in fast phrases !
I hadn't heard sampoorna kauns before - would need some repeated listening for me to appreciate the essense of that raga - at the moment it takes me from a malkauns to a 'varamu' equivalent to even shades of karaharapriya or bageshri !!
eagerly waiting for more tracks from this concert....
matterwaves,
will download Kishori Amonkar also over the weekend....thanks.
Jayanthashry,
in the sampoorna kauns track, Kerkar switches to pure malkauns towards the end where she renders the same song I was referring to earlier....

This one on sangeethapriya is around 38 mins.I dont know of commericla release of this. The wordings of the vilambit cheez start with 'Tuma bin..' and dhrut reads like 'man sumirana karatu ram naam'. Im not sure whether this is of help(sorry for my poor knowledge of HM). I remember this is the same piece i have listened to on Rajan Parrikar's page

Concluding part after Sampoorna Malkauns
Nandagopal
Some Music which had survived in an agriculturists Home in a remote Village near Chigateri in Karnataka.
Please dont forget that we have a date.
To visit that place and meet a 80 year old gentleman called Mudenur Sangannanavar.
This is one of the Most briiliant bhajans one can hope to hear in a classical concert.One can see such a glorious mix of the styles of Omkarnath Thakur and Sunanda Patnaik.A style that brings the Temple atmosphere ,right onto the Concert Platform.
Believe me.It is a wonderful track.

K'ji: I've spent the last two days (and nights) trying to "get" Kesarbai's madhyam ka lagaav - what a brilliant rendition of kedar! As for visiting Mudennur Sri Sangannanavar, I'm game - the Amaravati Express from Howrah is so convenient to reach Hubli / Dharvad - maybe I can club it with a visit to Ajji's...
