•• Remembering Legendary Sitar Maestro Padmabhushan Ustad Abdul Halim Jaffer Khan on his 8th Death Anniversary (18 February 1927 - 4 January 2017) ••

Ustad Abdul Halim Jaffer Khan was an Indian Sitar Maestro. Khan received the national awards Padma Shri (1970) and Padma Bhushan (2006) and was awarded the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award for 1987.

• Early life :
Ustad Abdul Halim Jaffer Khan is regarded as one of the 'Sitar Trinity' of India along with Pandit Ravi Shankar and Ustad Vilayat Khan and is the youngest of them. He was born in 1927, in jaora (35 km near ratlam), Madhya Pradesh as the son of Jaffer Khan, a versatile vocalist, sitarist and beenkar. He hails from the Beenkar Gharana of Indore. He has been a distinguished All India Radio Artiste since the early 1940s. A few years before the Beatles met Ravi Shankar, in 1958, Khan collaborated with jazz pianist and composer Dave Brubeck. Brubeck who was in Bombay through the U.S. State Department sponsored Jazz Ambassadors Program was impressed by the improvisation in Indian music and said that the experience accompanying Halim Jaffer Khan led him to play in a different way. Brubeck says of that meeting, "We understood each other." Khan also performed with the noted English classical guitarist Julian Bream in 1963.

Khan died on January 4, 2017 at his home in Mumbai, India from cardiac arrest, aged 89.

On his Death Anniversary, Hindustani Classical Music And Everything pays rich tributes to him and are very grateful for his contributions to the Indian Classical Music. 🙏🌼
