Splinters & Candy, Album Review >>
Saffron passionately translate the words of Persian Sufi poet Rumi into music on their latest release, dawning, which is out on CD February 5th on Tames Records distributed by Palmetto. Katayoun Goudarzi, Shujaat Khan, Tim Ries, Kevin Hays and Abhiman Kaushal improvise over Indian classical and jazz styles to build a palette of sound for Rumi’s poetry to float like a breeze over sitar, saxophone, piano and tabla. Even though Rumi’s words have been around for hundreds of years, Saffron put a new twist on his writing by providing a musical backdrop that taps into traditional and contemporary Eastern and Western music. Goudarzi believes it’s important to bring this historic poetry into the 21st century. 02/05/13 >> go there
