Remembering Pt Jasraj: The aliveness of music

I first met Pandit Jasraj in 1993 when I got married and moved to Mumbai from Kolkata. Of course, I was familiar with his music, being a regular audience member at the famous Dover Lane Music Conference in Kolkata, four days of all-night performances of Indian classical music and dance now in its seventh decade. Every Indian musician worth his salt performed and my introduction to our rich musical heritage came from here, where I heard Panditji perform many times.
