This album was released in 1968 by Ustad Vilayat Khan, a leading Indian classical sitarist who made his first recording at the age of only six and performed for 69 years until his last concert at the age of 75. The work is a performance of the Indian classical raga "Yaman" in the seven-note scale of Kalyan Sath, reflecting the zigzag movement with gaps of one or more notes, but with the unique Indian technique of further improvisation on the basic structure. The beautiful and emotional melody is accompanied by Manik Rao Popatkar's tabla.
