		Hussain said that although his brother would be accompanying him, he would probably also give him a run for his money.

		Hussain flew from India to his home near San Francisco on Saturday evening, and then from San Francisco to Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon for a sold-out concert at UCLA's Royce Hall with Ali Akbar Khan on Sunday evening.
		Well, [Zakir's voice takes on a hushed tone] it is believed that Shiva's damaru [a hour-glass shaped drum] was the origin of rhythm sounds, and whatever sound Shiva made on the damaru, he passed them onto his son, the elephant god, god Ganeshka.

		Zakir Hussain is an extraordinary artist and his tabla playing almost seems melodic at times.
		There is a drone accompaniment from Suchismita Chatterjee, but Zakir is very much to the fore on each of the three tracks.
		It's a simple enough concept: gather four great musicians--percussionist Zaikir Hussain, flutist Hariprasad Chaurasia, guitarist John McLaughlin, and saxophonist Jan Garbarek--into a studio, push "record," and see what happens.

	Charles Lloyd with Zakir Hussain and Eric Harland: Sangam - PopMatters Music Review
		Almost the last thing to be heard on this stunning live recording is an ecstatic audience member, amidst the applause, crying ‘’Thank you so much,’’ in a perfect and spontaneous expression of the great joy emanating from this performance.
		Hussain’s tablas set up minutely detailed rhythmic patterns, recorded with amazing clarity, that carry enough musical information to entertain like an entire ensemble.
		In any case, Hussain’s tablas do an admirable job of providing the bottom-end, making the most of the bass notes from the larger, “duggi” tabla to provide sensitive and witty melodic support – even throwing in lighthearted quotes from Sonny Rollins’ “St Thomas” and Rossini’s William Tell Overture.

		Zakir Hussain is a poet of the tabla, but as this album makes clear, his interests extend far beyond Indian classical music.
		While the dynamic remains largely on the low end, preserving the music's meditative quality, there are elements of jazz (Jan Garbarek's liquid sax lines) and folk (John McLaughlin's pastoral acoustic guitar).

	Ustad Mohammad Omar with Zakir Hussain / RootsWorld Recording Review
		Unfortunately, it is not so fitting for this performance, recorded in 1974 with a young Zakir Hussain accompanying.
		Zakir Hussain is an unmatched tabla virtuoso, who can display the highest musical genius, but he has had difficulty playing in the role as accompanist on occasion.
		In this recording Zakir Hussain overshadows the rabab, sometimes even interrupting the flow of the piece as he becomes a solo musician.
