The Album: This is the first release from the Dover Lane Music Conference, which has seen many historic and truely wonderful renditions.

Shyam Kalyan: This an evening raga in the Kalyan Thaat which has both shudhha and komal Madhyam. It has similarities with Kamod which is also in the same thaat. The Bandish here is a composition of Pt Ajoy Chakrabarty. Some the taans are really mesmerising.

Tabla: There are many great Tabla players today, and Shuvankar Banerjee is clearly one of the them. He has played with many maestros, and here he keeps superb company too. From the initial solidity in the bada khayal to the rather frivolous Thumri in Tore naina, his Tabla is just... delicious!
