| Description: | Charm is the debut release from Naya Baaz - a groundbreaking new collaboration between two extraordinary musicians, both of whom have achieved a rare level of mastery in demanding musical traditions from opposite sides of the globe.
Recent Guggenheim Fellow, Rez Abbasi moved from Karachi to California as a child and has built up a formidable reputation as a guitarist who combines his love of jazz (evidenced on his last major release, 'Django- Shift') with an international array of influences from South Asia and beyond: Josh Feinbergis one of a handful of Western musicians to excel at the challenging legacy of the Hindustani sitar, specialising in the Maihar Gharana style from North India, and also a jazz bass player who studied with Paul Bley and Dave Holland.
"Josh earnestly understands jazz harmony and chromaticism as well as Indian musical traditions" says Rez 'That's a very rare combination'. Completing the endlessly flexible line-up are Jennifer Vincent's bespoke five-string cello, opening up possibilities to add both basslines and melodies, and Satoshi Takeishi's specially augmented drumset. - "Charm" is the captivating LP by Naya Baaz, released under WHIRLWIND RECORDINGS. This album showcases a mesmerizing blend of jazz, South Asian influences, and contemporary improvisation. Naya Baaz is an innovative project led by guitarist Rez Abbasi and sitarist Josh Feinberg, both acclaimed for their boundary-pushing artistry. Their collaboration brings together intricate melodies and dynamic rhythms that reflect their deep musical roots and global sensibilities. Previous projects from these artists have received critical acclaim in international jazz circles, with Abbasi being recognized as one of DownBeat?s top guitarists and Feinberg celebrated for his mastery on the sitar.
