Shabbir Nisar
 

1960-; Delhi/Lucknow/Farukhabad tradition

The son of Sheik Dawood, Shabbir Nisar is a player of great distinction, with a beautifully balanced and expressive tone, quality material, and a thoughful and intelligent approach much in keeping with his father's eminently intelligent playing. There is nothing flashy and superficial about Shabbir Nisar's playing: it is all deeply satisfying content. The sample given here is a superb qaida with variations.
