Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Party - vocals
Ustad Sultan Khan - sarangi, vocal
Ustad Abdul Sattar Tari - tabla

Since the death of nusrat the every other self claimed artist churning out remix based on the great nusrat compositions, but most of them have only one use and thats throw them out of the window into trash box.

I come accros this Album in a store where they playing it, and i was stunned and just stood there to listen it, then after trying alot i am able to get copy it and it blows my mind.

This album is relased after the death of nusrat, so technically its a remix album, but when a great performer like sultan khan do this, then the result is a mirror for those morons who doing it with great proud and producing rubbish.

This Album got only 3 track, all the 3 are qawwalis of sufi nature, the blending did by ustad sultan khan is just amazing, it takes you more closer to the world of nirvana you never able to. i just cant write more in appraise so only one last advise, buy this album before it become unavailable. ---Honest Opinion, amazon.com

It was a good idea, to combine the two masters in one album. But if the idea was to take some existing music, after his death, and add Sultan Khan to it... yes, good idea but implementation was lacking. Two masters who stand alone at the top of their game. But Nusrat did not have a choice in this collaboration. Ustad Sultan Khan's vocals, unfortunately were lacking, and though he's a real master of the Sarangi, it seemed like there was no rehearsal and pieces were made on the fly. Often also, Ustad Sultan Khan's volume seems louder than the rest of the music. Disappointing. I was expecting something like the album Ragas and Sagas with Jan Garbarek and Fateh Ali Khan (who is not Nusrat btw). ---Fazeel Chauhan, amazon.com

Sultan Khan is one of the greatest musicians of the rare instrument called sarangi. It is believed that the word sarangi was derived form the word Sau Rangi, which means a hundred colors and sultan Khan is a great exponent to express those colors on the instrument.

Sultan Khan was born on April 15, 1940 at Sikar in Rajasthan. His great grandfather Hussain Baksh and grandfathers, Azim Khan were court musicians in the princely state of Jodhpur. Gulab Khan his father was also an accomplished vocalist and sarangi artiste. Sultan Khan was trained in the Indore gharana style of khayal singing which was popularized by the legendary Amir Khan. He went through a strict regimen at home.

Sultan Khan is being acknowledged by music connoisseurs for unique depth and his magnificent technical and melodic control over the string instrument. He adopted in his style a special nuance of Amir Khan’s gayaki, which reflects always in his renditions. He is torchbearer of a famous lineage of sarangi players. His systematic badhat, exquisite gamakas and intricate taan-s make his performances unique and soulful.

He is a master in light and light classical genres of Indian music. Besides his solo performances Sultan Khan is widely known for his talent of accompanying other famous artistes like Zakir Hussain, Ravi Shankar, Lata Mageshkar and Many others.

He is a proud recipient of the Sangeet Natak Academy Award the gold Medalist Award of Maharshtra and the American Academy of Artistes Award in 1998. In 1997 he had the honor and privilege of playing for Prince Charles 50th birthday celebration. Sultan Khan has come to be recognized on an international scale performing along with Ravi Shankar on Former Beatle, George Harrison’s 1974 Dark Horse world tour.

In this album Sultan Khan brings out the structured gravity of the raga Ahir Bhairav the winsome appeal of the thumri played here in four different angs or styles and exquisite lyricism of the evening raga Patdeep. ---exoticindiaart.com
