  • Kayhan Kalhor/Erdal Erzincan the Wind
    ECM Kayhan Kalhor/Erdal Erzincan The Wind Kayhan Kalhor: kamancheh; Erdal Erzincan: baglama; Ulaş Özdemir: divan baglama ECM 1981 CD 6024 985 6354 (0) Release: September 26, 2006 After “The Rain”, his Grammy-nominated album with the group Ghazal, comes “The Wind”, a documentation of Kayhan Kalhor’s first encounter with Erdal Erzincan. It presents gripping music, airborne music indeed, pervasive, penetrating, propelled into new spaces by the relentless, searching energies of its protagonists. Yet it is also music firmly anchored in the folk and classical traditions of Persia and Turkey. Iranian kamancheh virtuoso Kalhor does not undertake his transcultural projects lightly. Ghazal, the Persian-Indian ‘synthesis’ group which he initiated with sitarist Shujaat Husain Khan followed some fifteen years of dialogue with North Indian musicians, in search of the right partner. “Because I come from a musical background which is widely based on improvisation, I really like to explore this element with players from different yet related traditions, to see what we can discover together. I’m testing the water – putting one foot to the left, so to speak, in Turkey. And one foot to the right, in India. I’m between them. Geographically, physically, musically. And I’m trying to understand our differences. What is the difference between Shujaat and Erdal? Which is the bigger gap? And where will this lead?” Kayhan began his association with Turkish baglama master Erdal Erzincan by making several research trips, in consecutive years, to Istanbul, collecting material, looking for pieces that he and Erdal might play together. He was accompanied on his journeys by musicologist/player Ulaş Özdemir who also served as translator and eventually took a supporting role in the Kalhor/Erzincan collaboration.

  • Hossein Alizadeh Rembrandt Trio
    JL007 HOSSEIN ALIZADEH REMBRANDT TRIO » SAME SELF, SAME SILENCE « » SAME SELF, SAME SILENCE « These are sounds of the ancient and the modern. • Echoes of jazz solidify among the chromatics of the dastgāh, adorned by ornaments both Persian and Baroque. • Musical instruments that were nearly lost to history resonate with those that are the first of their kind. • The art music of three continents swirls together as sweet-scented vapour and become one. HOSSEIN ALIZADEH Few musicians of contemporary Iran are as respected as Hossein Alizadeh. He is the leading master of Persian lutes: the tar (the hourglass-shaped lute), the setar (a long-necked lute with variants across Central Asia and the Middle East), and, as you can hear on Same Silence, Same Self, the shurangiz, an instru- ment built to his own specifications that serves as a midpoint between the two. Born in Tehran in 1950 to mixed Persian-Azeri parentage, Alizadeh quickly became immersed in the tradition of musiqi-e assil – the classical music of Iran that can be traced back many centuries. He became a professional musi- cian aged just 15, and was soon noted for his powerful yet delicate performance style and his virtuosity in improvisation within the classical structures. Aside from strict interpretations of classical and traditional music, Alizadeh has also been at the forefront of innovative music in Iran, and has ex- panded the possibilities of what is thinkable within the realms of Persian music. He has been particularly celebrated as a composer, with notable works including HOSSEIN ALIZADEH a concerto for ney (end-blown reed flute) and string orchestra entitled NayNava (1983) and scores for the films Gabbeh (1996) and Turtles Can Fly (2004).
