Mohammad Hussain Khan is the son of the expert sarangiya
Kadar Bux (the Kadar Bux-Ahmedjan 'Thirakwa' pair was
famous in its time for their sarangi-tabla performances).
He received tAleem in sarangi from his father. Later he
learnt vocal music from Aman Ali Khan (Bhendibazarwale)
and from a couple of others whose names I forget. If I
correctly recall, he also took some training in Vichitra
Veena. For the most part he lived in Pune and was
well-regarded as a teacher there. He was also a fine
composer and his compositions have been published
in two volumes, "Upaj" and "Bandish" (the cheez in
Hamsadhwani ('jA jA re jA'o balama') is quite
well-known). He has also conceived new ragas such as
Shivkauns (Shri Senders of Boston is known to sing his
cheez 'lAgi lAgi aba kAhuN se preeta'). You can find more
dirt on him in the aforementioned books, those obsolete
artifacts with pages and covers, usually found in
"libraries," those dilapidated, abandoned concrete
structures of the pre-Internet era.

Mohammed Hussain Khan hails from Puna, born in 1907. He became a
disciple of Aman Ali Khan, hence the Bendhi Bazar appellation. He gave
up the sarangi to concentrate on singing "No matter how much a
sarangiy has practiced, a vocalist can always defeat him". (this is
from Joep Bor's: The Voice of the Sarangi) The statement is not sure
at all as far as I am concerned.
There is an old LP with Multani, Hussaini Kanada and Bhankar. He also
regularly broadcast from AIR.
I do not know if he is the same MHK as Mohammed Hussain Khan
"Sarahang". Does anybody?

And that's not the same Mohammad Hussain Khan, as a cursory
listen will tell you.
I have a recording of the Punewala MHK singing and playing sarangi;
while his voice is gruff his ideas are astonishing and compelling. I have
a fair number of his compositions in my repertoire, and quite a number
of stories about him from my Guru Devasthalibuwa.

somebody as little known as Mohammad Hussain Khan, both
Punewala and non-Punewala.
I would like to get hold of recordings of both MHKs. If anybody
is willing to help, please write me an email. Punewala MHK's
recordings should be traceable for me, especially since our own
Warren Senders happens to have them. There is also the prospect
of RP covering Shivakauns on sawf in future. One lives in hope.

Sarahang's recordings have been featured on Sawf. See,
for example, the "Kanada Constellation" and "Shankara."
Many months ago I had posted a link to his mp3 of Saigal's
song "jhulanA jhulA'o." A little "research" (the American
term for a Google search) will yield more music by the man.

Is anyone aware of commericial recordings of Ustad Sarahung? He seems
to be one of those legends we always hear about, however not much is
available. I've heard his name for years, and in fact Ustad Ali Akbar
Khansahib was speaking very highly of him less than a month ago. His
son, Ustad Altaff Hussein, also a classical singer, is currently in
the Los Angeles area. I know that Ustad Sarahung was frequently
accompanied on tabla by Ustad Ahshim(sp??), frequently recognized as
the greatest afghani tabla player in recent history. If anyone knows
where recordings of them could be obtained, please post. Thanks.

Here is an aside. Read at your own risk.
Barely an hour before I read Rajan's post, I was reading the incomparable
Simon Jenkins' column in The (London) Times. I am quoting some re-arranged
passages. The quote *can* do with further pruning, but ...

Students of British history are asked by examiners to trace the checks on
kingly power, usually from Magna Carta to adult suffrage. They are asked
what checks on the executive remain today. The available boxes usually
include parliamentary procedure, party democracy, Civil Service
independence, local government and the media. All these checks except the
last have withered, especially under the present Government.
This week marks a great victory for the British press. The walls of Fleet
Street are papered with sage predictions of its demise. Dead trees smeared
with ink would be seen off, first by radio, then by television, then by
market forces driving away advertising and circulation. When that proved
untrue, the internet would triumph. Journalists would run pleading to
website millionaires, begging for work. Newspapers would lose all influence,
confined to racing results and closing prices. None of this happened. The
sages could not have been more wrong. Yet the politics of the Nineties
asserted that it had.
I hate the idea of the media enjoying a monopoly on opposition to any
government. Constitutions should be pluralist. The Executive should be on a
short leash. Its natural inclination to corruption, secrecy and sleaze
should be vulnerable to parliamentary control and the rules of
administrative justice. Governments should be compelled to defer to other
constitutional institutions, to judges, assemblies and ethical codes.
But if this pluralism is denied, criticism will find some other outlet. At
present that outlet is the old-fashioned, derided, glorious press.

If so, which one of the two MHKs does this belong to ?
