Your upbringing with music from around the world makes mine feel parochial.  My Dad was into classical music, so that is what I knew for a long time.  When I first heard Jazz (it was live) I thought it was created in another universe.   

 

What a comfortable space for listening.  Thanks for sharing your story.  

 

Having grown up in the NY metro area, I can imagine sharing space with 11.5 million people.  It must be a truly vibrant environment.

His family favored Hindustani Classical music.

 

Thanks, Nikhil.  The information about Hindustani Classical music on Wikipedia is really interesting.  I listened to a few YouTube selections.  Could you suggest any of your favorites?  Perhaps Qobuz has selections.   Regards.

Will be happy to do that for you.  Here is a recommendation I hope you will like.

 

 

 

Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/Padmavibhushan-Hariprasad-Chaurasia-Rakesh-Chaurasia-Flute-Duet-Live/release/13188261

 

Thank you.  That opened the door!  Did a search on Qobuz (via Roon) and saw a vast discography for both master musicians.  Currently listening to Hariprasad Chaurasia Live From Savai Gandharva Festival 1992.  Zakir Hussain also amazing (and wonderful presence on YouTube videos).  (Interesting to hear the likeness and differences with shakuhachi flute).

 

Gotta go...lots of listening to do.  Always love discovering new music (have been listening to a lot of female vocalist from Norway, courtesy of another thread on AS).  Stay well.
