    " I am happy in Kolkata...... Why will I go there and play music that I don't like..."
    The words just brought me to tears, really thought provoking words he did say.
    Well done to the guys who made this video, great work truly ❤

    We are trapped in the Bollywood maze so we miss our greatest legend how many listen to Ravi shankar or anoushka shankar nowadays.Nandan Bagchi the other man in the vedio is also a great musician from Bengal.
    Try to make an episode on Amit Dutta the best Indian guitarist anyday.

    I am from Calcutta in spite of being born and raised there I have got to know so much about my city from your channel. I have seen every videos of your related to calcutta and others as well and it's so beautifully presented. Being away from home in another country your videos is a sort of refuge when I feel homesick. .

    "I regret it now"...
    His expression brought me to tears...
    I mean...how could a legend like him suffer in near-penury??
    I guess something's really wrong with the music in India.

    I was 9 years old when I first touched a guitar, and today I realize how lucky I was to have learnt it for 6-7 years straight under a legend. I still remember him playing the guitar, he was so into it that he had no idea whatsoever or whoever's standing at his doorstep. It was an honour to have learnt it from such an implacable legend. He might have passed on but his music will live on forever.

    I see lot of love and regret in his eyes when he says “ I regret it now” .
    Regret because of the present condition and Love because he loved Park Street and JAZZ both so much that it got reflected in his moist eyes......but those who have the fortunes to listen to him and some lucky chap like me who even danced to his tune at The Chowringhee Bar knows what a magic he would create with his nimble fingers on the frets.....sheer magic ! He is a legend and a true music lover will always remember him.

    I am extremely sorry for the loss of a very good Ole friend from the Times of Mocambo & Blue Fox /Great Eastern & Grand hotel nights ! and times spend together on & off. Its difficult to forget musicians like Carlton, Arthru Gracias, my close friend Lew Hilt, Brass Gonzalez, my very close friend amazing Jazz drummer Clive Hughes who played with fantastic Tony Banks -composer, the incredible Pam Crain & Don Saigal!! and not to even forget an ex Berklee Music graduate ...Damien . I send my heartfelt condolences to his family members and close friends from way up north far away from the land of Snow!
    May God Bless All.

    I think such videos should be published way before so that people actually recognise such great legends of India and support them to sustain the music. I know the video was very well made with all the emotional moments with background music but what is the use of all this if the person is already gone and we couldnt do much to serve him.

    Jazz is great music. But, suits and ball dances, 'Rights of Admission' reserved are classist and elitist. Calcutta has always favoured snootiness, owing to the erstwhile false sense of security that is was as important as London. The press, the media, the music scene, Kolkata's advertising community teems with such elitists
