Joolaee Trio
Border crossers in the morning breeze
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.

Original compositions interwoven with classical works and improvisation…
We see ourselves as border crossers who look across the lines. Because there is something there that we may not yet know.
