Rez Abbasi Snake Charmer

One of New York ’s unfound treasures, Rez Abbasi has forged a seamless musical unity between his East Indian background and the world of jazz. After 20 years of honing his unique approach, both as composer and player, Abbasi has distinguished himself from the jazz world’s many dozens of technically skillful jazz guitarists beholden to Scofield, Abercrombie and Frisell. And unlike other east-west
fusioneers such as Shakti and Trilok Gurtu, Abbasi always shows restraint and finesse, even while riding a big groove. Snake Charmer is comprised of Gary Versace organ, Dan Weiss drums/tabla, as well as Kiran Ahluwalia Indian vocals.
“Abbasi writes stunning compositions and plays dazzling solos. Remarkable. ” - Jazziz
