Another rendition of Yaman Kalyan by Bhimsen Joshi, most likely from the 1960s. He renders 'Kaahe sakhi kaise ke kariye' in Vilambit Ektaal, followed by 'Eri aali piya bina' in Drut Teentaal (whose speed becomes somewhat crazy towards the end, which, it seems was common back in the 60s and 70s for him!) The accompanists names are unknown, which is unfortunate. The vocal support artist is really skilled and replicates quite a few of Joshi's powerful taans exactly!

Personally, I feel that several of Joshi's vilambit khayal expansions are typical Kirana expansions and therefore, somewhat predictable, but somehow, in his Yaman Kalyans, he is always a little freer and more experimental. This particular rendition is, even by his standards of Yaman Kalyan, beautiful in an unusual way.
