Dhun In Bhairavi.

Amjad Ali Khan (1967) is a studio album by Indian classical sarod maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan. The record marks one of his early commercial releases under the label His Master’s Voice and was issued on a 12\" vinyl format. The album features traditional instrumental compositions rooted in the Senia Bangash gharana of sarod playing, a lineage Khan represents as its sixth-generation exponent.

The album includes Dhun in Bhairavi as its second track on Side B (B2). The composition exemplifies the dhun form, a light classical or semi-classical melodic structure often derived from folk or devotional themes. Khan performs the piece on the sarod, accompanied by a rhythmic foundation typical of North Indian classical music. The recording captures the instrument’s resonant timbre and the artist’s characteristic phrasing, which blends technical precision with expressive nuance.

Production details beyond the label, format, and release year remain undocumented in widely accessible sources. The album’s original pressing by His Master’s Voice circulated primarily in India, with later reissues or digital remasters not officially cataloged in public records. The track Dhun in Bhairavi aligns with Khan’s broader repertoire, which frequently explores raga-based improvisation and traditional dhuns adapted for the sarod.

Khan’s 1967 release preceded his rise to international recognition in subsequent decades. The album serves as an early document of his interpretive approach to the sarod, emphasizing clarity in meend (glissando) and jhala (rhythmic strumming) techniques. Collaborating artists or additional session musicians, if any, are not credited in available archival material.
