Rag Jhinjhoti

Atma is a studio album by Indian classical sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan, released on CD in 1990 under the label Audiorec International. The recording showcases Khan’s interpretation of traditional Hindustani raga compositions, emphasizing the sarod’s expressive capabilities in extended alap, jor, and jhala sections.

The album’s third track, Rag Jhinjhoti, spans 28 minutes and 54 seconds. Khan performs the raga in the vilambit (slow) and drut (fast) tempos, accompanied by tabla. The composition adheres to the raga’s structural framework, characterized by its shuddha dhaivat (natural sixth) and komal gandhar (flattened third) swaras. The recording captures the intricate interplay between melody and rhythm, with Khan employing meend (glissando) and gamak (ornamentation) techniques.

Production details beyond the primary credits remain undocumented. The album’s liner notes, where available, may provide additional context on the accompanying artists or recording sessions. Atma exemplifies Khan’s contribution to the Seniya-Maihar gharana, a lineage associated with his guru, Ustad Hafiz Ali Khan.
