Jins Upper Rast is a 4-note version of Jins Rast, with the unusual feature (shared by Jins Upper ‘Ajam) 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 Rast is the second jins in Maqam Rast and also occurs on the 5th degree of Maqam Jiharkah.
