“सितार – जोगिया / सितार – भैरवी गत​ ” – Prof. Enayet Khan & Mr. Vilayet Hossain (1938) Indian Sitar

Both sides of a scarce Indian sitar recording of the legendary master, Enayat Khan, and his son, Ustad Vilayat Khan on the Calcutta-based Megaphone label. The original Megaphone sleeve is also featured – one side showing a photo of Ustad Enayat Khan.

Enayat Khan passed away at age 43 in 1938, so this recording was likely made shortly before his death. Vilayat Khan, on the other hand, was only ten years old at the time of this recording! This pairing shows the passing of the torch from one master to the next.
