More Info:
2009 release. The melody and texture of the Persian language exerts a subtle hold on the composing and improvising of the Berlin-based quartet. Bandleader Cymin Samawatie, the German-Iranian vocalist, sings her own Farsi lyrics as well as poetry of Sufi masters Rumi and Hafez, and 20th century verse of Forough Farrokhzäd. As Ney is quietly compelling, proposing a chamber Jazz from new and fresh perspectives. An unusual and highly attractive 'intercultural' recording whose sensitive musicianship draws the listener in. ECM.
