Remembering a 1962/63 spring on the strings

I don’t have words to thank Jenny Bharadwaj for uploading a 50 year old recording of an amazing Jugalbandi by Ustad Ali Akbar Khan (Hindustani- Sarod) and Mysore Doraiswamy Iyengar (Carnatic- Veena). Bharadwaj comments on details of the recording as:

“This was a private concert held at the residence of Shivram Ubhaykar in Bangalore during 1962 / 1963. 
The percussionists that day were Vidwan Ramaiah MS on the Mridangam and Pt. Chatur Lal on the Tabla
Kaapi (the Carnatic raaga) was played in the second half of the concert. I do not have the recording of the second half of the concert. Maybe it is with one of Shivram Ubhaykar's relatives”
