The sample is short - sorry. But in it you hear Lotfi's command of the
tar and the music.

The story is interesting too. The concert in Irvine California, was
not so well-organized. The auditorium at the University was in fact a
classroom. There was little control of the lights and the musicians
did not have a 'green room' to rest in when not playing. All of this
annoyed everyone, especially Ostad - who said nothing - but began
playing this improvised pishdaramad in Homayoun with such ferocity that
everyone's jaw dropped.

Enjoy.
