The Gurus of The Guru

Late Ajit Kumar Chakrabarty, his father, was his first guru.

Subsequently he received training from Late Pannalal Samanta and Late Kanaidas Bairagi and Dr. Amiyaranjan Bandopadhyay

Then he went under the tutelage of guru Jnan Prakash Ghosh, a legendary, versatile, an institutional figure by all means and one of the all time great gurus ever born.

Ustad Munwar Ali Khan, son and successor of great Ustad Bade Ghula Ali Khan, gave him advanced training of Patiala Kasoor gharana.

Although he received specialized training in the Patiala Kasur gharana or style and did research on Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan's style of singing, he was blessed to have close association with so many great musicians of various other gharanas as well, like Ustad Latafat Hussain Khan (Agra), Pandit Nivruttibua Sarnaik (Alladiya Jaypur) Smt Hirabai Barodekar (Kirana) at the ITC Sangeet Research Academy where he is still associated as the senior guru.

While pursuing his studies at Rabindrabharati University, Kolkata, he received training from Sri Chinmoy Lahiri, Dhirendra Chandra Mitra, Suchitra Mitra, Sumitra Sen, Nirmalendu Chowdhury, Paresh Deb, Prativa Kapoor, Panchanan Bhattacharya and Chabi Bandyopadhyay, all exponents in their respective genre of music.

In course of this journey, Pandit Chakrabarty has grown with the treasured insight and vision intermingled with his academic virtues leading him to realize that a true musician should not cripple him in the shackles of a gharana limits. He should embellish his presentations with the distinctive gems from different gharanas.
