I agree that the term is over-used in written and spoken language. Descriptions do lose their punch when used inaccurately. Nobody wants to hear about the "world class appetizers" at the local bar. But in this case, Manish is the epitome of world-class talent. He is known as essentially the best tabla player on earth and is practically revered by other kirtan musicians. Thanks for reading my first article.

I don’t know what it means, its seems a lazy way to fully describe something. “oh, i don’t really know anything about it, but its World Class” iadam 2009-07-09T08:33:16Z
