Qolamhossein Bigjekhani, also Qolam-Hossein Bigjeh-Khani, (1918 – April 13, 1987) was an Iranian musician and tar player. He was born in Tabriz.
His art of tar playing is characterized by:
- extreme transparency and a detailed approach to moulding the musical phrases
- fast speed in fingering and plucking
- cultivated taste in balancing avazes and zarbis
- even tremolos and both hand vibrations
- fine sound-making even from low quality instruments
- using Azerbaijani zarbis in his performances
- using dayereh as an accompanying instrument
- fast plucking and various systems of plucking
He left a number of recordings, mostly of Persian Dastgah music. He collaborated mainly with his old friend and Dayereh player M. Farnam. He also accompanied Mohammad-Reza Shajarian (most notably on a 40+ minute improvisation in Homayoon mode).[1]
