Hi Claudio,
Tune snippets sung over Whatsapp, inspired by translated phrases from beloved 13th-century poet Rumi. Then a studio session, unrehearsed, when all the outpourings of grief, fear, and mad love came to a head. The result will prove one of the most beautiful albums of the year.
The close friendship of several culturally diverse musicians is captured on Will You (release date: September 22, 2017 by Tames Records), the latest from Iranian-American vocalist Katayoun Goudarzi and Saffron Ensemble , master sitar player Shujaat Khan, highly respected saxophonist Tim Ries (who’s played with jazz greats like Jack DeJohnette and Donald Byrd and rock icons like The Rolling Stones, Donald Fagen, and Rod Stewart), artful pianist Kevin Hays, and tabla player Dibyarka Chatterjee. Together, they have forged an unlikely ensemble that finds striking new settings for Rumi’s centuries-old yet ever-urgent words.
The result on Will You is stunningly hypnotic and shares the defining qualities of Rumi’s work in its sustained ability to resonate emotionally, across ages and across cultures.
