Chandi jaisa rang hai tera, sone jaise baal… is one of those ghazals you always love to hear — even if not rendered by Pankaj Udhas. When Jitesh Sundaram, a young Thalassery-born, Mumbai-based singer, sang the timeless classic at Tagore Centenary Hall in Kozhikode on Wednesday, the audience savoured every moment of it. At the two-hour programme, organised by Bankmen’s Club, h e rendered about a dozen ghazals by maestros like Ghulam Ali, Mehdi Hasan and Jagjit Singh. He also paid tributes to his guru, Anup Jhalota. He also sang film songs like Mere angne mein… (Lawaris), Ramayya vastavayya… (Shree 420) and O meri zohra jabeen… (Waqt). But, apparently, it was the serenity of ghazals that appealed more to the audience. It was indeed a fine show by Jitesh, though he was not as consistent as he would have liked it to be. His improvisations worked well at times. His diction, though good for a South Indian, needs to be fine-tuned a bit. Tablist Rajendra Nakod was impressive. Berny accompanied on the guitar. Musthafa played the violin and Sushanth accompanied on the keyboard. P. K. Ajith Kumar
