Hi,

One line - "Wonderful treat"!!!!

Unfortunately - i missed out the first 20 mins.(My vehicle broke down - oops!) It was jam packed and i could know that, people were occupying seats by 6:00pm or so. The passes were distributed more than the hall capacity. People were upset, cursing the organisers, banging the doors and some left the venue disappointed. Neverthless some how i sneaked in and after which the maestro (her daugther introduced the troupe) came in.

Tracks played my mastero and his son (ambi)
Spanish Wave
Conversations
Dont Leave me
Mother India

Wonderful!! That's a nostalgia - my college days.. more than a decade back!!! All those wonderful tracks.

Bindu - Couple of songs - english composed by her father
Narayan Subramanian - A karaoke, and then a duet song with his mother (Kavitha Krishnamurthi). (May be they are trying to promote his son, not sure though! He did this karaoke on one of hindi movie songs)
Kavitha Krishnamurthi - lullaby - that's good along with corke, and i suppose a solo song (at the beginning - which i missed)
Ambi - Accompanying his father in all the tracks he played.
Corkey - wow!!! That was wonderful harmonic player!!!!
Ernie Watts - Sax.. great player!!!

End time: 10:00pm
Break: 15 mins (8:25pm - 8:40pm)
