Legendary Video

This is a rare video produced by Pete Seeger @ 1964. This footage was taken at the home of Ustad Imrat Khan in Kolkata. He plays JhinJoti on sitar and is accompanied on tabla by Shaukat Ali Khan. It was aired from Peter Seeger's show Rainbow Quest. You also will see Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones with sitar. He was one of Ustad-Ji's students in the early 60s.
