The masters voice Flautist Ronu Majumdar reminisces his days with George Harrison & mentor Zakir Hussain.
He has played with the top most musicians in the world and now conjures his experience of playing with some of them in an album. Flautist Ronu Majumdar plays with some of his closest friends on Journey- Ronu Majumdar & Friends. According to him till date its the most emotionally loaded work he has composed. I have collaborated with Taufiq Qureshi (percussion) who is a long time friend, Pt Vishwa Mohan Bhatt (Mohan Veena), Bombay Jayashri (vocalist), Kadri Gopalnath (saxophone) and more, he says. Ronu has also been a part of George Harrisons musical projects and recalls working with him in his house. George Harrison was a saint and donated a lot of money to the Hare Krishna temple. He was very unassuming and modest, he reminisces. The musician considers Zakir Hussain as his mentor. I worked with him on Mr & Mrs Iyer and absolutely I think is a great human being, he says adding that in Bollywood its always Vishal Bhardwaj and AR Rahman he loves working with. We used to call AR Rahman, Dilip. He is a true genius and we could see that even in the earlier days. I worked with him on Sadma. Its great that people like Vishal and Rahman give all the musicians credits which was not the case in the olden days, he explains. http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1138460
