Great to have an album of live solos gathered together instead of the sometimes comparatively lifeless studio sessions! Just a comment on the review that said 'Zakir is referring to the time signature "6.5/4", what he really is saying is that its just 13/8. No need to make others think that its amazingly complex when its just a simple rhythm with a flashy name' ... this reviewer didn't know what he was talking about since some time signatures have always been classified that way in India. This is not a concoction of Zakir Hussain, and neither is it intended to make anything look complicated, it's just a different way of doing it, that's all.

i am a great fan of zakir hussain.and i know many friends who became his fan after listening to this album. zakir has an ability to entertain the audiance even while remaining "almost" classical.sometimes he even takes freedom from pure classicalness,but that also entertains the orthodox classical music ians.this album is a proof (it at all it is required!) that zakir is a god in anything that concerns with percussion music...

Great music, but when Zakir is referring to the time signature "6.5/4", what he really is saying is that its just 13/8. No need to make others think that its amazingly complex when its just a simple rhythm with a flashy name. Nice music though.
