The present book is primarily a biographical work with an in-depth study of the life and contribution of legendary musician Ustad Vilayat Hussain Khan (vocal) of the Agra Gharana. It is rich with varied flavour. The musicological elements consist of a brief but analytical study of the evolution of music, gharana system, styles and the Agra Gharana with its hierarchy. It contains a good number of precious bandishes composed by Ustadjee with their detail notations. Besides, a detailed analysis of the ragas composed by him and a comparison with the conventional ragas further adds to the value of the book. The book is undoubtedly a valuable asset for the students and researchers of music, musicians, musicologists, and music lovers.
