"The world of Music would not be complete without Ghazals. The world of Ghazals would not be complete without Jagjit Singh. . But then Jagjit Singh arrived on the scene and has kept the ghazal flying high till today. His contribution becomes all the more significant because at a time when melody was doing away from our film music, his compositions and singing style gave us renewed hope. Even more so, the sway of Hindi cinema and its situational songs was so strong that the new arena of non-film music created by him brought a complete freshness to the music scene. There is absolutely no doubt that Jagjit Singh with his unique composing and singing style is the torchbearer of the survival of ghazals in India." Boldly signed on ffep by the composer. 164p. illus. discography (NOTE: this copy does NOT include the CDs] Laid in is a ticket from a concert he gave in Toronto in 2004 Book
