Request for records of Jayam-Bhagyam

I was unable to decide where to post this one. Moderators may move it to a better place, if any. I am looking for concert recordings of Smt.
Jayam-Bhagyam sisters, based in Bangalore. They have given many concerts spanning three decades, before Smt. Bhagyam's demise in the early 80s. They are sisters of the mridangam vidwan Shri T.A.S Mani. Shri Coolkarniji may surely have one in his huge collection!

Thanks,
Anushas

Is Shri TAS Mani married to vocalist Ramamani? I think I remember reading that a long time ago, but I'm not sure where...(and how interesting that their names are so close)

Yes, they are. While I do not know if he plays mrudangam for her concerts, I do know that they are featured together in fusion concerts.

jayamma-bhagyam and TAS mani and his wife they were all tenants @ my tatha's building- malleswaram.
Growing up i often used to listen to them practicing or giving lessons. And mani was also learning to play the mrudangam.

Not sure if their conc. were recorded.
I can ask my folks to check with TAS mani if he has any rec. of his sisters? Also u can contact him he runs a school @ malleswaram, b'lore - Karnataka College of Percussion, they have a website.

Arasi,
he has played for Ramamani.

Thanks Meena, for the details. I am currently learning from Jayam mami! She herself has no records, only fond memories! I wanted to know out of my interest, if member rasikas/their relatives have recorded any of their concerts.
