Glimpse of Heaven

Another magical event came to be on Saturday night. The Santoor combined in divine fashion with the Tabla to create magic like we don't experience but for a few brief instances in our lives. Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma and Ustad Zakir Hussain played together. An incredible 3 hour performance which left one weak and exhausted...the only word I guess to describe the experience is celestial. As an Indian, I can only say I must have been very, very good in previous births to have seen something like this, that after seeing Remember Shakti last year.
Celestial.
Celestial.

I know exactly what you mean. I have seen them perform together as well. But what was absolutely exceptional was a Zakir Hussein, Taufiq Quereshi and James Brooks performance a few years back. ZH on the tabla, TQ on the drums and JB on the saxophone- an outstanding juggalbandi.
