Souren Baronian - Ocean Algae

What happens when a powerful musical tradition from another part of the world meets the power of jazz in America? Sometimes a new musical language is born that has special powers of it's own. Such is the exciting music of the quintet called Taksim, the only group now playing a form of jazz that's driven both by Armenian tradition and by the heritage of Charlie Parker and Lester Young, with a taste of Arabic in the mix.
