Charm

Charm is the debut release from Naya Baaz - a groundbreaking new collaboration between two extraordinary musicians, both of whom have achieved a rare level of mastery in demanding musical traditions from opposite sides of the globe.

Recent Guggenheim Fellow, Rez Abbasi moved from Karachi to California as a child and has built up a formidable reputation as a guitarist who combines his love of jazz (evidenced on his last major release, 'Django-Shift') with an international array of influences from South Asia and beyond: Josh Feinbergis one of a handful of Western musicians to excel at the challenging legacy of the Hindustani sitar, specialising in the Maihar Gharana style from North India, and also a jazz bass player who studied with Paul Bley and Dave Holland.

"Josh earnestly understands jazz harmony and chromaticism as well as Indian musical traditions" says Rez 'That's a very rare combination'. Completing the endlessly flexible line-up are Jennifer Vincent's bespoke five-string cello, opening up possibilities to add both basslines and melodies, and Satoshi Takeishi's specially augmented drumset.
