Jins Upper ‘Ajam is a 4-note version of Jins ‘Ajam, with the unusual feature (shared by Jins Upper Rast) that its tonic is the last degree in the scale instead of the first. It is notated here with its ghammaz on G and its tonic on C. Jins Upper ‘Ajam is the second jins in Maqam ‘Ajam and also occurs on the 3rd degree of Maqam Bayati.
