Soulful Duet Vol.1: Bliss

Soulful Duet Vol.1: Bliss is a collaborative Indian classical music album released on July 15, 2015. The recording features sitarist Hidayat Khan, vocalist Indradeep Ghosh, and tabla player Enayet Hossain performing in a jugalbandi (duet) format. The album appeared under the label Aimrec and was issued in CD format.

The album centers on Raga Jhinjhoti, a raga traditionally associated with late evening performances in the Hindustani classical tradition. The tracklist includes three movements of Raga Jhinjhoti: an Aalap, Jor & Jhala section, a Gat in Vilambit Teental (slow 16-beat cycle), and a Gat in Drut Teental (fast 16-beat cycle). The fourth track presents a Folk Melody, though specific regional or stylistic details of the folk piece remain undocumented in available sources.

Hidayat Khan performs on the sitar, while Indradeep Ghosh contributes vocal renditions. Enayet Hossain provides rhythmic accompaniment on the tabla. The album emphasizes the interplay between instrumental and vocal interpretations of the raga structure. The release date coincided with a formal launch event on July 15, 2015, though further details about the event’s location or additional participants are not publicly recorded.

The total runtime and production credits for the album are not specified in the provided context. The work stands as the first volume in a planned series, as indicated by the title Soulful Duet Vol.1, but subsequent releases in the series are not confirmed in available records.
