The greatness of an artist is always their openness and courage. And even if i tried to find words, i would fail to describe what it meant listening to Jayateerth ji under the Bakul tree, without any mike or sound system.

The tree of course is 120 years old, but the rendition is even older. Komal rishabh Asavari, Ahir Bhairav, flowed and everyone listened with rapt attention. When what you present has stood the rigour of the centuries old guru-shishya parampara, music becomes a medium to experience divinity, serenity and complete surrender.

Jayateerth ji is of course a once in a generation performer and it is a blessing to hear him sing- up, close and personal. But it is equally a blessing to listen with listeners who have the ability to quieten themselves, to open their hearts and who blend the boundaries between the performer, performance and the audience.

To all of you, who made the baithak a pause in our lives, here’s to collective memories of a lifetime. And long live Indian classical music.

Pandit Jayateerth Mevundi ji
