RIP Ali Akhbar Khan

Ali Akhbar Khan died last week. One of the luminaries of Hindustani music:



His father, Allaudin Khan, trained him, Ravi Shankar, and Nikhil Banerjee. I had the privilege of seeing him in concert a few times. He started a music college that some of my friends have attended in San Rafael; it has always been in the back of my mind to go out there for some lessons if time permits.
