Wrapping up the night revisiting this https://www.nts.live/shows/raga-vibrations/episodes/raga-vibrations-21st-december-2024 excellent #ragavibrations tribute to #ZakirHussain via #ntsradio

2024 in Music

Amazon music shows that John Carroll Kirby, Dr. John and Iggy Pop were the top three artists from My Top (49) Songs 2024 playlist. Expanding to my top 10 would add: Quasimoto, Grateful Dead, Alice Coltrane, Blood Incantation, Beastie Boys, Songs: Ohia and MF Doom. In that order. For dub/reggae the list includes Culture, Keith Hudson and Sizzla.

Looking back over what I posted to the blog, NPR’s Tiny Desk seems to be the clear winner. Of other videos, the artist I have probably returned to the most is Saint Levant. Though I was just listening to The Auditorium Vol. 1 this past weekend.

One last minute entree is this excellent tribute to Zakir Hussain, from Greg Davis, for the final Raja Vibrations of the year. Which I’ve played more than once already.

I didn’t buy much vinyl but I did pickup a copy of Foreign Smokes by BCMC. What a treat! Plus, my wife got me the reissue of Walls Of Jerusalem for Christmas, which I’ve wanted forever! There were also a few vintage Bruce Cockburn, Kris Kristofferson, Ry Cooder and the like, I found out thrifting. While thanks to my son, been regularly listening to Raffi and other childhood albums we inherited from my wife’s parents.

Was lucky enough to catch Charley Crockett at Mission Ballroom and André 3000 live at Ellie Caulkins Theatre. Both fantastic nights, with amazing but very different vibes. Charley and band had energy to match the large crowd/venue size. We were on a double date, there were lots of drinks and good times. Much to my surprise the theater was not sold out for Andre and company, though I got the sense they’d have been doing the same thing regardless of crowd/size. They were in their own zone for sure, though they definitely brought us along. All in all, a more refined date night at an intimate venue I’d never been to, would recommend!

#RIP Zakir Hussain.
You were not only a prodigy and a magician on Tabla. But someone who understood the universal nature of music and tried to bring the different music traditions together. A human being par excellence, who believed in the universal brotherhood, beyond language, nationality, color, religion and used his music to unite all.
You'll be remembered for ever!

This is feeling real now. Just got a refund notice for the #ZakirHussain concert this March.

Heartbroken to hear about the passing of tabla maestro, Ustad Zakir Hussain.

A true loss to the art and beauty of sound and music.

Ah it was always a treat to hear #ZakirHussain play. Flayboyant perhaps, but exhilarating nevertheless - I've watched him live in more traditional settings with just other tabla players (including brother Fazal Qureshi) or other Indian classical musicians to fusion and more eclectic performances with (Remember) Shakti and John McLaughlin and others
I have so many CDs and recordings to remember his virtuosity and rhythms. Thank you for the #music
🙏🏽✨

Back in July 2024, I got to see Ustad Zakir Hussain perform at the Sydney Opera House and had no words to describe how awesome it was. It was about a 100-minute nonstop instrumental masterpiece and we didn’t even realize how time went by here.

https://sathyabh.at/weekly-notes-27-2024/

We were due to watch him perform in less than 3 weeks this time as a collab with Bela Fleck. Couple of weeks ago, we got an email that the concert was cancelled. I know why.

RIP.

Sad to hear that the great tabla player Zakir Hussain has died. Take a listen to this interview that Jacki Lyden did in 2009 that I had the pleasure of producing in which he collaborates with banjo great Bela Fleck and the outstanding bassist and composer Edgar Meyer. Hussain gives a vivid description of how rhythm can also be melody at the top of the piece, then later recalls how his tabla playing father released a record with iconic drummer Buddy Rich. #zakirhussain https://www.npr.org/2009/10/02/113441094/fleck-meyer-hussain-border-crossing

People have smarter takes, but for me, #ZakirHussain’s work is why I connect with the tabla, and with Indian percussion.

I’ve seen him in concert at least a half dozen times, from a solo performance in a UC Berkeley lecture hall, to massive shows in Delhi and SF. (1/2)
