Add to Cart Live-to-air broadcast, KPFA Berkeley, 1967
"My approach to music is very deep. I do not compromise with anybody or anything else in the world. I do not care. I want to really go beyond this materialistic world...not for the sake of enjoyment, entertainment, no. A musician must lift up the souls of the listeners, and take them towards Space.
I think when any musician is recording, he becomes self-conscious and he cannot give his best. But it is also true that we have lost many great musicians; now at least the next generation can get some sort of idea of their music from these recordings. I think that recording live concerts is a much better way." -- From the Interview with Nikhil Banerjee in the Purabi Kalyan ( Raga-207 ) booklet.
