Maydan Ensemble
Green Note Ltd, Green Note, NW1 7AN , [Venue Details]The Maydan Ensemble of the North London Jazz Collective is a special new quartet that blends modern jazz with Arabic, Anatolian and Persian folk music, and is delighted to debut at the Green Note after a series of celebrated sold-out gigs around London.
It is a fully international group comprising some of London’s busiest jazz musicians in a totally unique setting:
– acclaimed Irish-Iranian jazz guitarist Kourosh Kanani (Ibrahim Maloof, Ali Azimi etc.)
– one the finest Iranian folk musicians in London, Parham Bahadoran on reeds (zurna, duduk and more)
– Italian-English bassist and stalwart of the London jazz scene Lorenzo Morabito (Giacomo Smith, Peter Horsfall, Mark Kavuma etc.)
– Londoner Robbie Ellison (Steve Fishwick, Frank Basile, Sara Dowling, Eric Alexander etc.) on drums.
The group explores the intersection of jazz and a bricolage of Middle Eastern musical traditions from two perspectives: that of material from the jazz canon inspired by West Asia; and that of the group’s own jazz-flavoured arrangements and renditions of Arabic, Anatolian and Persian folk tunes.
’Maydan’ means ‘town square’ or ‘public meeting-place’. Originating in Farsi, the word now finds usage in Arabic, Turkish, Urdu, Georgian and Ukrainian.
