Ustad Habib Khan
sit, US
World and Jazz
Habib Khan is regarded as one of the best sitar players in US today. He was born into a family of musicians and can trace his lineage back several generations to when classical music enjoyed the patronage of the nobility and royalty of India. He began his training at the tender age of five under the strict eye of his accomplished father, Ustad Hameed Jaffer Khan. Habib Khan has carved out a distinct style of his own which is a blend of his father's traditional techniques and his own imaginative inventions. He is as much at ease with light classical and religious music as he is with pure classical renderings of ragas. Habib Khan lives and teaches in the San Francisco Bay Area and is actively involved with Om Music Circle, an organization which was recently formed to promote the music of North India. He performs many classical Indian music concerts, with the Habib Khan Indian Jazz Ensemble, and even in a classical Indian jugalbandi with the unusual distinction that it is between sitar and guitar.
