Shujaat is noted for the individuality of his style, the sweetness of his tone and the emotional involvement and communication which he brings to his performances.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is absolutely the best CD of classical Hindustani music I've ever heard!! Raga Malkauns is a truly great rag, known for its late night samay and its relationship to the djinns. It has been said that playing of raga malkauns will attract djinns and that consecutive playing will result in a gift of treasure from the djinns. I've been playing this CD non-stop but no treasure yet!!
I was lucky enough to catch Ustad Shujaat Khan in concert and was completely blown away. His subtlety and absolute perfect conception of the ragas is truly stunning and his mastery of the instrument is colossal. His fingers glide as if they were greased with butter.
This CD is truly a gem of the khyal style of Hindustani music, I highly recommend it to absolutely anybody! It also has very extensive liner notes and explanations as well as personal interviews with Ustad Khan."
