Rag Bhairav - Jor

Ustad Mohi Baha’uddin Dagar performed Rag Bhairav – Jor as the second track on the 1994 album The Tradition of Dhrupad on Rudravina 1. The recording features Dagar on rudra vina, a fretted lute associated with the dhrupad tradition of Hindustani classical music. The track spans 17 minutes and 33 seconds, showcasing the jor section of Rag Bhairav, a morning raga characterized by its contemplative and expansive development.

The album was released by Makar in CD format. It documents Dagar’s interpretation of dhrupad through the rudra vina, an instrument historically linked to the Dagar bani (style). The recording captures the artist’s command of meend (glissando) and gamak (ornamentation), central to the dhrupad repertoire. No additional accompanying artists are credited for this track.

The release date of The Tradition of Dhrupad on Rudravina 1 is confirmed as 1994, though the exact day and month remain undocumented in available sources. The album serves as a reference for the Dagarvani approach to dhrupad, emphasizing slow, meditative elaboration of raga structures. Further details on the recording sessions, production personnel, or alternate editions are not publicly specified.
