J &J .Merit has come out for an otherwise low profile couple making innovative approaches in C. music -esp on.Dikshidhar. I am proud with a special reason.- to have learnt from the same guru.

The concert was an excellent piece of work by the duo on 16th At R.K.Swamy Auditorium started around 5.10 and finished by 6.15.
With a few items they concentrated more on Raga Bhava than kriti rendition.

They started off with Sri Saraswathi Namosthuthe in Arabhi a fitting thank giving to goddess saraswathi for bestowing the Award on the duo with some beautiful swara passages.

Next came an elaborate alapana of Kalyani started by Jayaraj and then Jaishree rendered the raga with ease and aplomb. Both of them were in peak form and the Taanam that followed the raga exposition drew unanimous praise from the audience.

The kriti Nidhi Chaala Sukhama in Misra Chaapu was neatly embellished with traditional sangathis .. and not so elaborate Swara Prasthara.

They rounded off the concert with Bageshri Thillana composed by their guru Chengleput Ranganathan and Vande Mataram to pay the respectful homage to the martyrs of Mumbai Tragedy.

The Occasion was graced by None other than Sangita Kalanidhi Dr.M.Balamuralikrishna ji and the duo expressed their immense happiness on his presence.

After the concert i had to leave for another one so i am not able to write much about the Inaugural Function.

I met Rajani madam and may be she can throw some light on this.

I too left after the concert and did not attend the function.

The concert as Mridangam says was lovely. Wished it was longer.

veenajj · Post by **veenajj** » 18 Dec 2008, 09:09

Thank you, JB. Playing Ranganathan Sir's thillanas is a pleasure when mridangam artists like you are sharing the stage.

Rajani, thanks for coming.

Jeyaraaj and Jaysri
