His Excellency Jyoti Swarup Pande has kindly sent us the following recordings from Baku, Azerbaijan:

Majid Khan – Patdeep, Durga & Bhopali (sarangi)
Shakoor Khan – Darbari (sarangi)
Bundu Khan – Various Ragas: Darbari, Miyan Malhar, Bhairavi, Malkauns, Jaunpuri
________________Corrections
1. Raga Ramkali published on Ramesh Mishra’s page has actually been played by Dhruba Ghosh and is now featured on his page.
2. Bundu Khan’s recording labeled Shuddh Kalyan has been relabled Bhopali.
3. Ragas on Ghulam Mohammad’s page have also been labeled correctly:
Harikauns = Kauns Kalyan
Saraswati = Samant Sarang
Bhairavi = Khamaj
yay update!
Never heard of these ppl, but will definitely give each a listen. Thank you.

We know about three sons of Ustad Allahdiya Khan, Manji Khan, Bhurji Khan, both were vocalists, and a third one who was not into music. Who is Majid Khan among them? Please enlighten us a little more.
Dear C Parthapratim,
Majid Khan is the eldest son of Abdullah Khan. He was born in 1888/89. Ustad Abdul Majid Khan represents Ustad Bandu Khan of Delhi and Alladiya Khan of Atrauli in sarangi and vocal music respectively.
The raag durga by abdul majid khan posted here is followed by raag bhopali in the same track. Actually it is a rec of one of his rare 78 rpm record containing durga & bhopali total duration making over 6 min.
