- Hm...most of those terms (and even the album's title "Alap-Jor (it should be
- that term)-whatever"), are all terms drawn from classical North and South
- Indian music. The album title, f'rinstance, are the series of stages in a
- North Indian work (the alap being the improvisatory section in which the
- rag of the piece is explored, and the jor being the initial sequences of the
- tala, or rhythmic core of the piece, and so on). To figure out the other
- terms, most of which escape me right now, check any good book on Indian
- classical music that has a glossary of terminology.
