Asad Ali, a top disciple of Uts. Faiyaz Khan, Tassaduq Hussain and Ata Hussain. He was a regular on All India Radio during the 1930s and 40s. Circumstance forced him and his family to move to Pakistan post partition, where he faded into obscurity. His sons were good classical musicians too. In this recording, Asad is accompanied by his sons (Saadat and Farhat). Sarangi is played by Hamid Hussain, and the Tabla player is Shahamat Ali, who is rendering Pakhawaj beats.
Ustad Asad Ali Khan was a brilliant, but little know vocalist of Agra Gharana. He was a student, and nephew of Agra Gharana Founder Ustad Faiyaz Khansahib.
@@kmariwala yes I understand, but the source is wrong! I know this because I wrote it on the website you are referring to. This was years ago and back then I believed he was a relative of Faiyaz Khan
Ustad Asad Ali Khan, sincere apologies if I'm wrong, was son of Ustad Tasdduq Hussain Khan (Vinod Piya) and hence closely related to great Ustad Faiyaz Khan and had thorough training of Agra Gharana. His family migrated to Pakistan after partition and settled down in Karachi. He was a regular artist of Pakistan Radio and TV. Because of migration, two things happened, one positive and one negative. The positive aspect was that his music remained unaffected by the associated Gharanas and retained the originality of the Gharana. The negative aspect, a musician of his calibre would have got far better exposure and recognition had he stayed back in India.
WHAT A PERFORMANCE !!! even writing in all caps, with bold font and twice underlined would not do justice to this :-)....truly outstanding....thank you very much Sir....
@@kmariwala Asad ali khan was the son of Kadri Begum, who was the daughter of Faiyaz Khan's grandfather Ghulam Abbas Khan(1825-1934) and sister to Faiyaz Khan's mother Abbasi Begum. So it stands that 1. Abbasi begum and Kadri Begum were sisters and 2.Faiyaz Khan and Asad Ali Khan were cousin brothers. ( Ref. 'Bharatiya Sangitkosh' by Bimalakanta Roychoudhury) . Asad Ali Khan's own brother was Ghulam Rasul Khan, the butterfly-moustached harmonium player renowned as an accompanist to the great Faiyaz Khan.
Hello, thank you so much for uploading all these absolutely amazing recordings! I have been playing this one practically on loop... May I ask, do you happen to know anything about the Ragni Recordings CD releases of Asad Ali Khan Agrawale? From the Discogs page it looks like this Kedar might be on one of those CDs. I am trying to track down copies but no luck...

Fabulous!! What a shame he didnt stay back in India. He would have been one of the most celebrated musicians in the country.

What a rare find. He presents a composition in Dhamar taal here.
What a beautiful rendition ! Thank you so much for uploading this gem.
You really have gems in your collection
He undoubtedly reminds me of his uncle Ustaad Faiyaz Khan Saheb.
I don't think faiyaz khan was his uncle
@@PokriPoki Google mentions that Faiyaz Khan Saheb was his uncle.
interesting.... though I do suspect this info is incorrect. His father's name is Kale Khan.
