PROFILE
: The year was 1956 when Shri
Ajit Ghosh began his musical voyage with effortless ease.
A splendid balance is visible in his music and the presentation
when he plays various western instruments like the Piano,
Piano Accordian, Vibraphone, Organ, Univox and various keyboards
on one hand and other oriental instruments like the Indian
percussion instruments and Dholak on the other. This music
that he creates has come out of sheer talent and also the
blessings of his teachers like the legendary Sri V. Balsara,
Tony Menezes, Stanley Gomes, Louis Banks and RamGopal Mishra
in his very illustrious learning career.
Shri
Ajit Ghosh's performance and professional career is equally
noteworthy since he started his music recording sessions in
the year 1959 with celebrated artists like Pankaj Mallick,
Shantidev Ghosh, Sandhya Mukherjee, Debabrata Biswas, Hemanta
Mukherjee, Suchitra Mitra, Dwijen Mukherjee, Dhiren Bose,
Dhiren Mitra under Hindusthan Musical Production, Megaphone
and HMV branded record lables. His music was gladly welcomed
and appreciated by the All India Radio (AIR), Calcutta and
it was in the year 1964 that AIR graded Shri Ajit Ghosh as
a western music artist ('B' high). During this time he represented
India and made our nation proud by representing the Zumbori
celebration in Kenya on the tenth anniversary of the Kenyan
independance. The performance was applauded both by the people
and the press. After his return to this country he had the
privilege of performing with artists like Shyamal Mitra, Chittapriya
Mukherjee, Aparesh and Bansuri Lahiri. At the same time he
played and recorded music with the Bollywood singing legends
Lata Mangeshkar, Md. Rafi and Mukesh.
In
the year 1986, Shri Ajit Ghosh was awarded the Michael Madhusudhan
Award for outstanding contribution in diverse fields of science,
art, culture and literature. Meanwhile he recorded music and
performed with artists like Dhananjoy Bhattacharya, Satinath
Mukherjee, Utpala Sen, Subir Sen, Usha Uthup, Shibaji Chattopadhayay,
Arundhati Horn Chowdhury, Dipti Roy and Amrik Singh Arora.
Shri Ajit Ghosh is the only artist who gave Usha Uthup her
first Bengali mega hit song "Aha ! Tumi Sundari Koto
! Kolkata". Since then Usha Uthup and Ajit Ghosh have
become a part of the wonderful fusion. Shri Ajit Ghosh also
travelled far and wide for his recording sessions with the
present artists of Bollywood like, Kumar Sanu, Udit Narayan
and Abhijit.
This
gift of music from the Almighty was born with and mastered
so well with practice and presentation that now he devotes
his time by preachings of music to his innumerable students
from all over the city and its outskirts in the quiet corner
of his studio and music room and sometimes in Calcutta Festival,
Banga Sanskriti Sammellan and other press shows at Rabindra
Sadan but far from the glittering lights of media and attention.
Perhaps he is one of the finest music representatives of the
last millennium.
Ajit
Ghosh is such a musician who teach Piano and Synthesizer to
young and teen generation with great expertise to make them
a expert musician. He has enormous talent as an ideal music
teacher.
