Jailal Academy of Music (JAM) has inherited an ancient art form of teaching Indian Classical Music which has been passed down to the current generation by its gurus, Lt. Pt. Ram Gopal Misra, the grandson of the renowned and esteemed, Pt Jailal Maharaj, who started JAM in Kolkata. His wife, Guru Susmita Misra, and daughter, Smt. Kajol Misra Roy, have ensured that his legacy lives on as they continue to teach this unique style of music in Kolkota. In 2003, his son, Pt. Rajkumar Misra, together with his wife, Smt Chandrima Misra, set up JAM in London. Together, they have trained and presented over 150 UK-based students in performances across the UK. JAM aspire and aims to reach out to the UK to help its society appreciate musical depth and personal achievement through teaching Indian Classical Arts.
