Anindo Chatterjee
 

1954-; Farukhabad tradition

Anindo Chatterjee began learning with my teacher, Afaq Hussain Khan, early in the 1960s as a child, but then went on to learn with Jnan Prakash Ghosh (1912-97) for over thirty years. I first met him at house concerts in London in the mid 1970s when he was accompanying the wonderful Nikhil Banerjee, and I enjoyed his clarity, crispness, and musicality. All these attributes are in abundance in his excellent solo recordings: he has a solid storehouse of compositions, of which this tintal triple-time qaida with variations is a good example. This comes from an undated AIR recording.
