Boom! (1968) segment with Viram Jasani
In order to distinguish "Black Mountain Side" from the otherwise identical "Blackwaterside" by Bert Jansch, Jimmy Page included a guitar break where he simulated a sitar, as well as a tabla played by Viram Jasani. A year earlier Jasani had appeared in Boom! (1968) directed by Joseph Losey, an outrageously ridiculous film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The soundtrack album for this film was composed entirely of John Barry's music. Jasani was only acknowledged in the closing credits, "Indian Sitar music by Nazirali Jairazbhoy and Viram Jasani".

Viram Jasani - Early Asian Music
So the scene was not a public one, but a private one. The other person who was very very active was Ayana Deva Angadi who ran an organisation called the Asian Music Circle and he actually did lot of pioneering work in the late 50's. He was the key person to introduce Ravi Shanker to George Harrison, for example. So Angadi used to organise public concerts, mainly at universities. BBC first broadcast Indian music, I think, on its World Service in 1949, the year we came to England. But they started producing more recordings of Indian music on what was called ' The Third Programme' in those days. It was interesting, a guy called John Levi, and John Levi came from a very wealthy banking family, I think, the Samuel Montagu family.

He talks about his time with Nikhil Banerjee and Vilayat Khan. He performed at numerous places. He talks about the music scene in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s and difficulties faced by Indian music.
Later on he talks about the Asian music circuit and how it came into existence. He talks about the successful initiatives AMC took over the years in bringing classical music to the forefront of public awareness. He is very content that AMC’s work was spread to the remote parts of UK as well. He takes pride in the creative and innovative way AMC set benchmarks for top quality music and how it brought Asian audiences to the Southbank. He talks about wide variety of music – Afghanistan, Rajasthani folk music, Chinese, Indonesian Gammelan, Gujarati musicians to Britain. He talks about the legacy of AMC

He had fabulously expensive recording equipment and his recordings were the only ones that were allowed to be broadcast on the BBC which they had not themselves recorded. In fact, his quality was often better than the BBC. Now he went all over the world recording all kinds of ethnic music and he came in touch with my father and our family because he wanted to go to India, particularly he wanted to go to Gujarat. So my father was able to introduce him to wonderful gujarati folk musicians, musicologists, and when John came back with all his recordings, my father did the translations for him. And then he published these on Nonesuch Label
