The concert was good. The AlApanais of kEdAram and husEni were both very good. The kritis were all rendered well. After the husEni kriti, Sri Jayaraman announced he was going to present a few GNB favourites as a homage to GNB in his centenary year. The accompanists were good.

It was a very enjoyable concert from the veteran. His AlApanais of both bilahari and bhairavi were both top class. All kritis were rendered in a sparkling fashion. The neraval at 'kAmitArta vitaraNa...' was very well handled. The svarams in nATTai and bhairavi were both very beautifuly rendered. The latAngi AlApanai was rendered by Sri Jayaraman's disciple who provided vocal support. Sri Ravi on the violin played in tandem and gave good replies. Sri Mali and Sri Kannan played with amazing anticipation and to the pieces rendered. Their tani was nice as well.

The concert was a very fulfilling one. The song selection was very carefully done and after each rAga AlApanai, there was kriti, which one dint expect at all. All the AlApanais were very skillfully done. The svarams were all measured and made sweet. All the kriti renditions were perfect and made one sit up to listen with each sangati falling perfectly every time it is sung. The voice of Sri Jayaraman was very resonating. At 76, Sri Jayaraman is still giving us amazing music of the highest quality. One only hopes to hear more off such veterans.

Sri Sundareswaran was very good all thro' the concert and provided good support. Sri Govindarajan was playing with very good anticipation. His playing kept getting better with every piece and was in tandem with the kriti that is being sung. Sri Kannan provided able support to the percussion department. The tani was good as well.
