Veteran musician and sarod maestro, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, writes a deeply

and details about their individual musical styles, bringing them alive.
Twelve eminent musicians of the twentieth century appear in the book - Bade

Kumar Gandharva, M.S. Subbulakshmi, Bhimsen Joshi, Bismillah Khan, Ravi

Khan transcends the Gharana and north-south divide, and presents portraits of
these great artists that are drawn with affection, humour and warmth.
