	CONCERT REVIEW: Soaring Strings, Magic Hands -- Maestro Ali Akbar Khan and Zakir Hussain in Concert
		Ustad Khan (who is also affectionately known as Khansahib) began the concert by introducing the first melody of the evening as Ragini Madhumalati, which translates to “song of a flowering creeper.” The first movement of a rag is known as alap, and is characterized by a very loose, abstract rhythm.
		Khan contributed to the momentum of the jor by playing lovely octave jumps on his sarod that were overlaid by more intricate, increasingly metrical patterns by his father’s sarod.
		Regardless of whether Alam Khan was deferring to his father’s sarod, or whether Khansahib had more amplification than his son, the net effect when the two sarods merged was the creation of a haunting overtone that resounded throughout the auditorium.
