About A Day With Pandit Jasraj
A Day With Pandit Jasraj is a Hindustani classical music album by vocalist Pandit Jasraj. The album was released on January 1, 1990. It consists of three tracks performed in the traditional khayal and bhajan styles.
Pandit Jasraj sings Raga Ahir Bhairav in the first track. The rendition follows the vilambit (slow) and drut (fast) tempo structures characteristic of khayal gayaki. The alap, jor, and jhala sections develop the raga’s melodic framework before transitioning into composed bandishes.
The second track features Raga Madhuvanti. Pandit Jasraj presents the raga with a focus on its evening mood and romantic essence. The performance includes improvisations in taans and bol-baant, adhering to the raga’s prescribed swaras and phrasing.
The album concludes with a devotional bhajan in Raga Sindh Bhairavi. Pandit Jasraj delivers the composition with emotive expression, incorporating sargam and meend techniques. The bhajan reflects the lighter, semi-classical tradition of Hindustani music.
The album does not specify a record label. The total duration and individual track lengths are not provided in the available context. The release format is not explicitly stated, though it is presumed to be an audio recording, likely in cassette or CD form given the era of release.
