“Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty is poised today as nearly a cult figure among all hitherto legendary Indian Classical Vocalists. Although a doyen of Patiala-Kasur style representing Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Sahib’s gayaki, he can equally portray the key features of other major classical gharanas like Delhi, Jaipur, Gwalior, Agra, Kirana and even Carnatic music. This is perhaps besides his early gurus - his father Late Ajit Kumar Chakraborty, Pannalal Samanta, Kanaidas Baigari and later on the all time great Guru Jnan Prakash Ghosh, Ustad Munawar Ali Khan (son of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan), he had learnt from different other maestros like Ustad Latafat Hussain Khan, Pt. Nibruttibua Sarnaik, Vidushi Hirabai Barodekar, Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna to name a few. Despite having such pure classical “talim” in Dhrupad-Khyal he is strangely adroit, rather a trend setter, in rendering genres of lighter veins like Thumri, Tappa, Geet, Bhajan, Keertan, Folk, Film/Non-Film numbers of different times in languages like Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Tamil, Telegu, Persian and even English which all together has given him a single distinguished entity as being an absolutely solitary example in the music scenario of our country.
