Joolaee Trio

Border crossers in the morning breeze

Tickets

6 to 8 p.m., break

Gren­zgänger im Morgen­wind on piano, kamancheh and percus­sion

The music is so diverse, exciting and unusual that it is difficult to describe. The combi­na­tion of piano, kamancheh and diverse percus­sion creates a world music sound that is second to none. Misagh Joolaee is one of the most sought-after virtuosos on the kamancheh, the tradi­tional violin-like string instru­ment from ancient Persia. Pianist Schagha­jegh Nosrati drives the tides of this ocean of sound higher and keeps the waves alive, while percus­sionist Sebastian Flaig sets the heartbeat on his frame drum with muffled beats and sharp accents. The Joolaee trio combines tradition and modernity and is styl­is­ti­cally extremely diverse and variable with a poignant density of expres­sion. Just as it should ideally be in jazz.

We see ourselves as border crossers who look across the lines. Because there is something there that we may not yet know.
