Ravi Shankar. He hails from the Bande Ali Khan - Indore Beenkar Gharana, and received tutelage from his father Jaffer Khan, a well known singer, sitarist and beenkar. The Ustad was a distinguished All India Radio Artist since the early 1940's credited with bringing Carnatic ragas such as Kirwani, Kanakangi, Latangi, Karaharapriya, Manavati, Ganamurti and others into the sitar repertoire, rendering them through a classical Hindustani sensibility and his distinct Jafferkhani Ang. Always seeking to break new ground, the maestro’s early experimentation with polyphony in Indian classical instrumentation was achieved in his own sitar quintet. Ustad Abdul Halim Jaffer Khan was the first classical Hindustani musician also to collaborate within the Carnatic tradition in a performance with Veena maestro Dr. Emani Sankara Sastri. In 1958, he collaborated with the iconic American Jazz pianist and composer Dave Brubeck, for a rare performance with the Dave Brubeck Quintet which was part of Brubeck's Jazz Ambassador residency in India, sponsored by the U.S. State Department. That memorable encounter with the Sitar maestro, Brubeck stated in an interview in Jazz Journal International, made him "play jazz in a different way". The Ustad collaborated with noted English guitarist Julian Bream in 1963. In a memorable trio concert in China, Khansaheb performed with Sarangi maestro Pandit Ram Narayan, and the Sarod Maestro and the Mohan Veena innovator, Pandit Radhika Mohan Maitra. In the 1959 film, Goonj Uthi Shehnai, the Ustad performs a never before heard sitar jugalbandi with shehnai maestro and Bharat Ratna, Ustad Bismillah Khan. Ustad Abdul Halim Jaffer Khan has bequeathed an invaluable musical legacy to the history of Indian cinema. The renowned composer and All India Radio (AIR) broadcaster, Khwaja Khurshid Anwar invited Khansaheb, a teen prodigy then, to record for what would be K.L Saigal’s final film, Parwana (1947). Khansaheb composed and played for epic films as Anarkali, Mughal-e-Azam, Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje, Kohinoor, Do Aankhe Bara Haath, Annapoorna, Yaadein, Sampoorna Ramayana, Baradari, and Shabab, to name a few. He collaborated with renowned music directors as Naushad, Anil Biswas, Vasant Desai, D. P. Korgaonkar, Shri. Ramachandra and Madan Mohan. Khansaheb’s iconic sitar-shehnai jugalbandi with Padmabhushan Ustad Bismillah Khan is memorialized in the film Goonj Uthi Shehnai.
