About This Album
Live in San Francisco captures Ustad Shujaat Khan in concert with Enayet Hossain on tabla, in an evening of Raga Yaman Kalyan and lighter pieces.
Yaman Kalyan is an evening raga, a close relative of Yaman. Shujaat Khan opens with an alap, jor and jhala, then a gat in teental. The concert continues with a ragamalika in Mishra Khammaj, a garland of melodies, and ends with a Kabir bhajan in Raga Bhairavi, the devotional verses of the poet-saint Kabir set to the raga that traditionally closes a concert.
Shujaat Khan, son and disciple of Ustad Vilayat Khan, is known for the gayaki ang, the singing style of sitar of the Imdadkhani gharana. In concert, with a live audience, his music has a special spontaneity. Released by Aimrec in 2020 (AIMCDIM419).
Live in San Francisco also has a two-part vinyl LP edition (AIMLP002 and AIMLP003). The LP edition is not currently available; a limited vinyl run is planned for a later date.
