Slow Gat in Jhaptal

Homage To Mother Teresa is a studio album by Indian classical sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan, released on 1999 under the label Moment! Records. The album appeared in CD format and features Khan’s interpretations of raga-based compositions as a tribute to Mother Teresa.

The second track, titled Slow Gat in Jhaptal, spans 17 minutes and 57 seconds. The composition exemplifies Khan’s command of the sarod in the gat style, a structured melodic form in Hindustani classical music. Jhaptal, a 10-beat rhythmic cycle, provides the metrical foundation for the performance. The track showcases Khan’s intricate meend (glissando) and gamak (ornamentation) techniques, characteristic of the Senia-Bangash school of sarod playing.

The album’s production and recording details remain partially undocumented. No additional session musicians or accompanying artists are credited in the available context. The release aligns with Khan’s broader discography of solo and collaborative works, emphasizing traditional raga explorations with minimal embellishment. Moment! Records distributed the album in physical CD format, with no confirmed digital reissues or expanded editions documented.
