what :  SITAR PERFORMANCE BY JOSH FEINBERG
what's that :

Born into a musical family, Josh Feinberg was introduced to music through classical piano at four years old and later, the bass at eight. As Josh entered adolescence, he became interested in improvisation and became increasingly dedicated to music. He began studying jazz and through that path found North Indian classical music. It was the music of Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Pandit Nikhil Banerjee that made a particularly strong impression on him. From the moment he started studying Hindustani music, Josh was very dedicated to riyaz or practice; it was not unusual for him to practice ten to twelve hours in a day. He bought his first instrument at age fifteen, and studied with Dr. Peter Row while attending the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. In 2005, Josh initiated his training with Ust. Ali Akbar Khan. Josh has also received training and guidance from the maestro's senior disciples including Sri James Pomerantz, and Dr. George Ruckert. Presently, Josh is continuing his training with Ust. Ali Akbar Khan's sons Ust. Aashish Khan and Sri Alam Khan, as well as his senior disciple Sri Anindya Banerjee.
