“Abbasi demonstrates that his music continues to thrill and seek out the new…” – Concerto Magazine
“In Abbasi’s hands, the globe’s music feels relentlessly new and progressive.” – Los Angeles Times
Comprehending the vastness of music’s evolution over almost a century, even in terms of jazz and world music alone, can be pretty mind-blowing – yet New York-based guitarist/composer Rez Abbasi spans that arc with an original release of quintet music based on A Throw of Dice (A Romance of India), a vintage black-and-white Indian-German silent film from 1929.
