LA•023 Bahareh Fayazi & Asareh Shek - Nasim-e Sahar Little Axe RecordsNasim e Sahar (The Breath of the Dawn) by Asareh Shekarchi (on tombak and vz), and Bahareh Fayazi (on tar) is a reinterpretation of works by master Iranian singer Reza Qoli Mirza Zelli (1906 1946). This recording features a variety of modal divisions of Iranian music with poetry that speaks of both earthly and mystical love stories. Sparse and powerful, Nasim e Sahar showcases the technical virtuosity and improvisational mastery of these two artists.
