Synopsis

Album Description
Farsi for "fire," ATASH is the ancient symbol of truth and life-energy. In world music, it is a collaboration of five gifted musicians, fusing the ancient and the modern to create a message of global peace which is both soulful and uplifting. The improvisatory elements of jazz and the music of India and the Middle East meet the raw energy of rock and the intricacy of Western classical music, creating a dramatic and organic texture over which the powerful voice of Mohammad Firoozi passionately and poetically resonates. Aficionados of jazz, progressive rock, classical and instrumental music will delight to the rich modalities, melodies and rhythms of this unique style of world music in which the singer?s voice, chanting in Farsi, serves as the centerpiece, an instrument in and of itself. The orchestration is filled out with violins, upright bass, the Arabian lute, Indian and North African percussion and drumset. Although Atash is an all-acoustic ensemble, audiences with a taste for electronica are also devout fans of this world-class quintet.
