Tabla: Vijay Ghate
Tanpura: Madan Oak
Panditji started his performance with raga Jhinjhoti (alap, jod
followed by gats in Rupak and Teentaal).
The alap and jod were brief (his shortest at Sawai thanks to sarkar -
to use Panditji's words) but played very delicately and sweetly to
truely signify the nature of raga Jhinjhoti.
The gats, including the jhala in drut Teentaal towards the end were
played with a tender hand and enhanced the lovely mood of Jhinjhoti.
Panditji concluded his performance with a Pahadi dhun in Dadara. What beauty!
Vijay Ghate provided excellent tabla sangat. His solo pieces
emphasized layakari and were consistent with the delicate nature of
the raga.
Over all it was a masterly performance! This beautiful and sublime
Jhinjhoti will stay in the mind for a long time.

Thanks to sarkar - I didn't understand what that meant. I love his Jhinjhoti - check out the studio recording released by Venus that contains an elaborate performance of the raga by the maestro. What a gandharva!!
