Stephen Slawek, sitar Pt. Swapan Chaudhuri, tabla Raga Basant Pancham

Basant Pancham: alap, jor, madhya laya gat in rupak tala.
This is a performance from 2001. The recording technician mixed in some of the hall sound, so the quality isn't my preferred sound. Also, I had been doing my own javari on my concert sitar for about six years. While I can get an acceptable result, it is never as good as when I have Ajay Sharma do it for me. So the sitar is not sounding its best here, either. Overall, the performance went well, and since I haven't posted any of my concerts with my good friend, Swapan-da, who first accompanied me in 1987, I thought I should get something up on my channel. Given that iMovie keeps changing on me, it is always a matter of luck that I can post anything!
