About This Album

Released October 20, 2010

Live in Mumbai captures Ustad Vilayat Khan on stage with his son Hidayat Khan and tabla legend Ustad Zakir Hussain, in a concert performance of Raga Jogkauns.

Jogkauns is a late-night raga that blends the colours of Jog and Chandrakauns. The concert unfolds over more than an hour: a 16-minute alap, then a gat in madhyalaya (medium) teental of over half an hour, and finally a drut (fast) gat in which sitar and tabla race to a dazzling finish.

Vilayat Khan, creator of the gayaki ang, was one of the giants of Indian classical music, and Zakir Hussain was the most celebrated tabla player of his generation. Hearing them in live dialogue, with Hidayat Khan carrying his father’s tradition, makes this an essential recording for any lover of the sitar. Released by Aimrec in 2010 (AIMCDIM900).
