Different Strokes- Jagjit Singh (2001)

Album Description:
Jagjit Singh has dominated the ghazal arena for decades. But this album, as the title suggests, is different.
Different Strokes contains short compositions compiled from live recordings based on ragas Rageshwari, Darbari and Bhairavi.
Apni Garaj Pakar Leene, for example, is based on raga Rageshwari, a derivative of the Khammaj scale. Of the eight compositions here, six are based on Ragini Bhairavi- supposedly the female aspect of raga Bhairav.
The album includes an unreleased Punjabi Gem of Jagjit Singh's Mainda Ishq Bhi Tu'. This recording was first done in AIR Chandigarh and is now included in this album.
Baju Band Khul Khul jaye and Babul Mora Naihar Chhuto Hi Jaye are well-known thumris sung by several masters, from Faiyaz Khan to Bhimsen Joshi. Singh's attempt makes for interesting listening.
A must for Jagjit Singh fans.

Bro what happened to all your Ramayana cassette videos?! I can't see them anymore. I loved them. You were the only one who had made them public. Can I please ask for them personally?
