The picture rings a bell. Some years back, I had the pleasure to hear Atul Gautam perform (along with two of his band mates, a sarangi player, and a sitar player) in the orchestra hall in the capital city of the Kyrgyz Republic... to a deafening applause. I also witnessed the trio perform on board the Kyrghyz Airlines some 29,000 - 34,000 feet above the sea level, as it flew over the Central Asian mountains on their return flight. They put on an impromptu jam session in the airplane on the request of their fellow passengers. No complaint whatsoever from the Pilot, co-Pilot or stewardesses. It was magic! Karmapa
