Today we have an EP from the brilliant vocalist Bhimsen Joshi (1922-2011) with short pieces in ragas Bhairavi and Aabhogi. These were later collected, along with a few other pieces of about the same length, in a 1977 EMI LP entitled Evening and Morning Melodies (ECLP 2779).
An EP from Joshi from the following year can be found here at the wonderful Music Republic blog, together with an LP from 1961.

ReplyDeleteMany thanks for this share Richard! These little known 45's recorded in the early 1960's are precious and unique. I especially enjoy Bhimsen Yoshi's early recordings.
