And of course, few would proclaim themselves the greatest in India unless they really played a unique instrument. But then, many did pioneer their instruments and built their careers on the fact -- from shehnai and santoor to mandolin and saxophone. One named his modified guitar after himself ("Mohan Veena") though he certainly didn't invent that instrument.<br /><br />Madhav certainly wouldn't call himself the greatest in New York, if he lived there. Being the best jazz musician in India is a comparatively modest achievement...Rahul Siddharthanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04809667965184094636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3112258799568696095.post-42949682960230836292010-07-29T16:39:03.707+05:302010-07-29T16:39:03.707+05:30Cool.

I do have some exposure to Indian classical music though I understand little there either. <br /><br />I have internalized the (possibly faux?) humility of various greats who kept referring to sadhana and God's grace and gift and come across, at least to me, as projecting ordinariness or groundedness or whatever.<br /><br />In ways I dont clearly understand this amplified to me, their greatness- that I've already conceded I cant technically judge anyway :-)<br /><br />thanks,<br />JaiJai_Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3112258799568696095.post-26713480064247556932010-07-29T14:18:02.804+05:302010-07-29T14:18:02.804+05:30Jai:

I dont know this person either and am relying entirely on this series of posts. I should be keeping my trap shut :-) But...<br /><br />Constantly referring to oneself as international-standard and world class does not strike me as the best way to go about being recognized as world-class.<br /><br />The closest I can recollect from my limited exposure are some American rappers who seemed to me to be pretty full of themselves. Some of them were widely recognized also and perhaps counted as "world class". In that sense, Mr.Chari is probably in class company.<br /><br />Why am I even commenting on this? I cant figure it out, but I think the digs at other Indian metros etc. are clear indicators that Mr.Chari wants to be in the news and talked about, even by people who have little idea of the subject.<br /><br />From these readings, he seems to want buzz and I'm giving it to him :-)<br /><br />thanks,<br />JaiJai_Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3112258799568696095.post-63473592242717577902010-07-25T11:21:26.762+05:302010-07-25T11:21:26.762+05:30km - I tried recording "Giant Steps" on ...km - I tried recording "Giant Steps" on my mobile but it's rather poor quality.
