Jag Baawre, Guru Bin Gyan - Raag Marwa

Ustad Amir Khan performed Jag Baawre, Guru Bin Gyan in Raag Marwa as the opening track of the posthumous compilation The Legend Lives on – Ustad Amir Khan. Times Music released the album on March 5, 2013 in digital media format. The recording spans 54 minutes and 20 seconds, showcasing Khan’s interpretation of the raga within the khayal tradition of Hindustani classical vocal music.

The track exemplifies Khan’s signature approach to Raag Marwa, characterized by deliberate alaap development and intricate taan patterns. The composition adheres to the raga’s structural constraints, emphasizing the komal re (flattened second) and teevra ma (sharp fourth) while maintaining the vilambit (slow) and drut (fast) tempo sections typical of classical khayal performance. Accompaniment details for this recording remain undocumented in available sources.

The Legend Lives on – Ustad Amir Khan serves as a curated selection of Khan’s work, compiled after his death in 1974. The 2013 release by Times Music repackages archival material, though specific recording dates for individual tracks are not publicly verified. Khan’s rendition of Jag Baawre, Guru Bin Gyan aligns with his broader repertoire, which frequently explored complex ragas through extended improvisation.

No additional information exists regarding the session musicians, recording location, or original release context of this track. The album itself does not include liner notes or producer credits, limiting further technical or historical documentation.
