Maydan Ensemble of the North London Jazz Collective
Karamel N22, N22 6UJ , [Venue Details]The Maydan Ensemble of the North London Jazz Collective is a quintet that blends modern jazz with Arabic, Anatolian and Persian folk music.
Having formed at the start of 2025, they have wowed audiences, selling out multiple venues across London, including Palestine House and the Green Note, as well as recently headlining Zeman Festival in Serbia. They are a fully international group comprising some of London’s busiest jazz musicians in a unique setting: - rising star Amena El Adb, the Egyptian singer - acclaimed Irish-Iranian jazz guitarist Kourosh Kanani - one the finest Iranian folk musicians in London, Parham Bahadoran on reeds (zurna, duduk and clarinet) - 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, 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.
