हूक उठत जिया में
अब मोहे लागे प्रेम सुनी सेजरिया ॥

आयो है सावन मास कासे कहूं मनकी बात

From Arnab Chakrabarty's June 2017 piece in Scroll on the singer who manages to effortlessly blend three gharanas – Agra, Gwalior and Jaipur – in his singing:

If there was a contender for Jeremy Corbyn’s nom de guerre in the universe of Hindustani music, someone who could be described as the “Monsieur Zen of Hindustani Music”, it would be, wrote Arun Kashalkar...

Much of the inspiration that drives Kashalkar’s music comes from his two main gurus, Gajananbuwa Joshi (1911-1987) and Shrikrishna “Babanrao” Haldankar (1927-2016). Gajananbuwa was one of the leading lights of the Gwalior gayaki for much of the second half of the 20th century, while Babanrao was an Agra singer. However, given the cosmopolitan nature of Mumbai’s musical universe, both Gajananbuwa and Babanrao had remained open to influences of great masters of other traditions.

Gajananbuwa possessed an insatiable appetite or “greed”, as he claimed in an interview given in Marathi to Ashok Ranade, for the knowledge of ragas and compositions regardless of their provenance. To this end, Gajananbuwa sought the guidance of Vilayat Hussain Khan, one of the great Ustads of the Agra gharana, as well as Bhurji Khan, a master of the Jaipur gharana. Babanrao, before he became a disciple of the great Ustad Khadim Hussain Khan of the Agra gharana, had trained for about five years under a Jaipur stalwart, Mogubai Kurdikar.

Other masters who have enriched Kashalkar’s music through their teaching include the very well-known Ram Marathe, Rajabhau Kogje of Nagpur, DV Panke of Yavatmal, and in the early days, his father, Nagesh D Kashalkar.
