Verbatim by: Rajeswary Ganguly Banerjee

 Translation:

 You mentioned Mantu babu, Mantu Banerjee.

  • Mantu Banerjee, the renowned harmonium player. Mantu babu lived right next door to us. I was very close to him; he used to call me Nati (grandson in Bengali). He used to say, “Come, let’s go for an early morning walk.” When he walked home in the evening and found me playing or doing something else, he would ask me whether or not I had practiced my instrument that day. Then he would say, “No, no, no, you should play as well .
Ustad Vilayat Khan

” Immediately, he would reminisce about Ustad Bilayet Khan, who, while living at his house, would play carrom till late in the evening, say till 9:30 to 10 pm. And then he would start his practise, which would often go on the entire night. He would say that games and sports were very important too. So that was an experience I had of him. Another thing I noticed was that, Mantu babu always performed with a lot of force and energy. One day he told me “Come, play your sitar for me. Im getting old now, I don’t know if I would be able to hear you play later in life.” He asked my uncle to bring my sitar. Back then, I could only play memorised music. So, when he asked me to play a certain Taan again, though I couldn’t recall it clearly. Then, he said to my uncle, “This is of Chaupalli in origin. It is similar to a Chaupalli composed by Amir Hussain Khan.” He said the bole out aloud, as if recalling it from his memory: ta kita dhe ke ta, ta kita dhe ke ta. Later my uncle said, “My brother learned it from Gyan babu, the composition, which is why the taan was made into that rhythm.”

  • “Wow”
  • I had also been there to listen to him playing. At Mahajati Sadan, when Sanjay Da was also there, along with Anindya Da was also there. And he would play with such ease… It was nothing for him to play in front of those people. Those were a different kind of experience altogether.
  • Very Good.

 Verbatim by: Dr. Suranjita Paul 

Translation:

This was in 1940-41. By that time Baba (Pandit Jamini nath Ganguly) had made quite a name for himself as a vocalist and pedagogue in musical circles. He performed at many places and on the radio too. Let me tell you an amusing incident relating to radio.  At that time sometimes it so happened that someone had known or heard a man ( or a woman, rarely ) sing well and made him sit in front of the microphone and sing. No recording, a direct broadcast.

Shailendra nath Chattopadhyay, a Gurubhai of my father, was to sing on the radio. Father and Girijababu (Pt.Girija Shankar Chakraborty ) were present too. Two minutes before the programme went on air, Shailenbabu was seated before the mike. He was singing Malkauns. Father remembered that for some unknown reason, he had confused the “Ma” with the ‘Sa’.

         Pt. Girija Shankar Chakraborty

He took the madhyam as the Shadaj and began singing Malkauns. Girijababu was standing beside him, father some distance away. Girijababu was pretty much annoyed at this – “How can he go to the higher notes, to the ‘Tara’?” He noticed that Shailenbabu was singing everything between the Mandra Saptak and Madhya Saptak. He had difficulty in reaching the Tar Saptak, naturally. So Girijababu told Baba gently – “Go and fix the problem.” Baba reminisced, “I ran to him, moved him away holding him by his shoulder and put my mouth before the microphone and continued the song by taking the Shadaj at the right scale.”

Incidents like these seem unimaginable and fantastic to us now.
