Gharana music my weekly Indian classical music broadcast has a new time slot, every Monday 8-9 pm. You can listen at FM 91.1 or at wrek.org. You can also find an mp3 of the most recent broadcast on teh wrek schedule page .

Here’s a rundown of Monday’s show (9/29):

Ali Akbar Khan (sarod) Raag Ahir Bhairav 78RPM

An absolutely brilliant rendition of Ahir Bhairav.

Tejendra Narayan Majumdar (sarod) and Samar Saha (tabla)
Raag Alahiya Bilawal Alap
Raag Alahiya Bilawal Gat in Madhyalay tintal
from India Archive Music 1997

Tejendrada shows tremendous timbral control and melodiousness, particularly in the alap proper and the first half of the madhyalay gat. Some nice ekhara taan work in the gat but too much too fast for me there.

A short excerpt in Raag Ahir Bhairav from a concert this summer at the Sangati Center in SF with Ferhan Qureshi on tabla.
