SHAHIN NOVRASLI - From Baku To New York City (Sealed) (CD)

Reinterpreting major themes is obligatory for most young musicians, but here the exercise gains a special meaning. Firstly, Shahin Novrasli has also recorded his own inspired composition and reveals an intense creativity. This is combined with Ahmad Jamal's production with a telepathic rhythm section, drummer Herlin Riley and bassist James Cammack, symbolising an incredible synergy between two generations of musicians, two centuries, and also two continents, East and West, all under the benign gaze of their forebears Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis. There is no doubt that the emotion emanating from this album "From Baku to New York" captures the eternal nature of jazz.
