For renowned sarod player Ken Zuckerman, the best part while listening to Sarod maestro Ustad Ali Akbar Khan for the first time in a concert in the US was his engrossment in the rhythm and the way the involved musician reacted to it. Zuckerman who was speaking during an interactive session with a renowned vocalist, Amarendra Dhaneshwar held at 'Sawai Gandharva Smarak' near Rahul Theatre, Shivaji Nagar said, "I was impressed and that was something that drew me to Indian classical music."
