Ulhas Kashalkar and Veena Sahasrabuddhe are
both represented; both also present khyal-numa,
which are vilambit-laya taranas.These are unfortunately devoid of any interesting
layakari at all; they seem to be a way to do raag-
vistar without having to worry about text
enunciation. I have heard more interesting
rhythmic variation in vilambit khyals from Gajananrao
Joshi and Krishnarao Shankar Pandit, to name two.It's too bad; the potential for layakari in vilambit
is immense.Even in drut laya, the use of various complex rhythmic
patterns in tarana syllables is increasingly rare. I
consider myself fortunate that my guruji took great
delight in this type of improvisation, and trained me
meticulously... in having fun while singing!Thanks for your kind comments, Toby. If all goes
well I'll have a new recording released before the
end of the summer; I imagine you and your son will
find it enjoyable.Cheers,Warren

VeenaS' skills in tarAnA must be highly classified since they are not easily
discernable. Pending declassification we must put her in the same category
of "modern vocalists" that you cite below. The tarAnA series released some
years back by Music Today (?) (it had people like VeenaS, Padma Talwalkar and
Ulhas Kashalkar etc) was a joke. Standard chota kHayAls stripped of text
and peddled for tarAnAs.Perhaps the doctorate was in the history of tarAnA and that sort of thing
where you can plot lots of colour graphs, pie-charts, maps and throw in a few
tables on the side.

That would depend on the bANi. You don't want to hear too many distracting
things in a dhrupad of, say, the shuddha bANi. In any case the Gundecha
Brothers, who are modern dhrupadiyas, display marvellous skills in both AlApi
and layakAri. Same for Uday Bhawalkar, another product of the Dagar school.
The "all-AlAp" brigade comprises those who have never had formal training in
dhrupad (or limited at best) but who merely want to feign width of ability.
Which modern dhrupadiyas did you have in mind?Re. Toby White's query: the best sources for tarAnA (or tarAnA-like singing)
are the Agra dudes. Latafat, Sharafat and others have several recordings which
one could hear on the AIR. Even the usual Agra kHayAl (in the older recordings)
use the vigorous nom-tom style of AlAp. The gharANA is (alas) almost moribund
today and we have been reduced to enduring the horse-like singing of Lalith
Rao and the like. Warm regards,r

This is a really good question. I have a private recording of Smt.
Prabha Atre, in raaga Jogkauns, which has a very good quality TaraaNaa.
I have heard Malini Rajurkar presenting taraaNaa admirably. I will have
to go over my small collection to see if I do have any outstanding
taraaNaa recordings.In good old days, Pt. Vinayakrao Patwardhan was the master of this
singing style. I believe Pt. Mallikarjun Mansoor has good renderings of
taraaNaa. Prabhaakar Karekar also sings forceful taraaNaa. It will be
good idea to get more information on this topic. Thanks for bringing it
up.Subhash
Adding to Jeff Whittier's recommendation of Nisar Hussain Khan
and Veena Shahasrabuddhe:
Amir Khan - taranas in Hamsaddhwani, Bageshri, Megh, Shudh Kalyan
readily available commercially; also, Malkauns, Abhogi.Rashid Khan - taranas in Yaman, Behag, Hameer, Sohini (?). He might
have learnt some of these from Nisar Hussain Khan.Ulhas Kashalkar - khayalnuma and tarana in Malkauns.
You might also find something interesting in the "Tarana" series
released by Music Today. Featured artists are Veena S., Ulhas K.,
Rajan and Sajan Mishra and possibly others. Hopefully someone will
post details with comments.mandar.

Gee, Rajan, I guess that means you don't like her. I once heard her give a
lecture-demo and found her to be exceptionally knowledgeable on the subject of
tarana bandishes. You could learn something from her. My comment on "modern vocalists" was specifically inspired by a concert of the
Misra Bros. which you and I attended together in which they performed a tarana
in Rageshree as I remember and in the middle of the performance the older
brother said "We learned this vistar from our guru" and proceeded to do the
only vistar of the entire piece which showed the masterful layakari to which we
are all referring, the rest being chota kheyal ideas performed with percussion
bols as text. I think we all agree this is the general trend today.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^It isn't clear from this or your last post what exactly it is that you find
laudable in Ms Sahasrabuddhe. Is it her alleged ability in tarAnA-gAyaki or
is it the allegedly inexhaustible stock of tarAnA bandishes in her possession
or both? Without meaning to get into any logomachy, I would like to suggest
that the two are not synonymous nor does one imply the other. As to the first claim, I have a difference of opinion. There is no evidence
in her commercial/concert/radio recordings of any formidable skills in tarAnA
singing. She exhibits neither proclivity nor flair for arresting layakAri
even in her kHayAl renditions, vestiges of which one would expect to find
in someone allegedly exceptional or expert in tarAnA-gAyaki. The Music India
tarAnA series afforded an excellent opportunity to showcase her allegedly
astounding tarAnA-skills but as far as I recall (and Shri Senders' corroborates
in his rejoinder) she, along with several others, chose to pass up.As to her being "exceptionally knowledgeable," I do not know one way or the
other. I have not had occasion to interact with or cross-examine her which
is the surest way of guaging someone's knowledge. Neither have I read anything
written by her which would allow an estimate of her mental wherewithal.
Perhaps a coup d'oeil over her doctoral thesis (hopefully containing pie
charts et. al and at least one Appendix) may help formulate a definitive opinion
on the issue. Not infrequently have I found that someone, say XYZ, accused
of being "exceptionally knowledgeable" on closer scrutiny turns out to be in
possession of a rather modest fund of knowledge than what was originally
asserted. Much to the embarrassment of everyone concerned, further investigation
reveals that the sole criterion used by the accuser was no more than "XYZ
knows more than I do." I must therefore defer judgment on Ms Sahasrabuddhe's
alleged "exceptional knowledge." This is, of course, not intended to offend the
many devout followers of Sahashrabuddhism or cast aspersion on its tenets.

Quickly and for the last time:(1) Perhaps her tarAnAs are eminently listenable; I have no quarrel on that
point. My only contention is that she displays no particular aptitude
and skills in and for layakAri/tarAnA type gAyaki. Nothing that can qualify
as "outstanding", "exceptional" etc.(2) I have said nothing about the bandishes per se of Kashinath Bodas
and Balwantrai Bhatt; in fact, I recall that in the past I have mentioned
the creative abilities of these gentlemen in a very positive light.Warm regards,r
Be that as it may, are we to accept your claim without examination,
particular when the evidence does not support you as regards her
performance? Why? Should it happen that in the future Ms Sahasrabuddhe exhibits the
skills (which are currently in the realm of fiction) I will have no
hesitation reversing my opinion.
I thought exactly the same of your assessment. That you went overboard
in ascribing to Ms Sahasrabuddhe's non-existent abilities and powers
in tarAnA/layakAri.Finally: This is not an impugnation of her as a vocalist and of her
abilities in kHayAl.Warm regards,
r
Rajan,It is clear you don't like her. That is a give away,
considering your condescending analysis of her PhD thesis which you allege
is laced with triteness and mediocrity. Not everyone in the world is as
enlightened you know.Perhaps you could spend some time reading her thesis and then come
back and give us the whole nine yards of your ridicule. That would be only
fair.
More of that condescending stance. Is it your opinion then that the present crop of singers (the whole
load of them, including the many "hyphenated-marathi-babes" as you have
called them in the past) are at the bottom of the intellectual food chain
and especially so in tarana ? I for one find Ashwini Bhide and Veena S
quite appealing. Oh well ... 152ee80cbc
