This time the members are: Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi (sax & voc), Swiss Chriss (drums), Derek Nievergelt (bass) & John Kruth (on an ancient Egyptian clarinet, a low d penny whistle and a Gibson mandocello from the early 1900’s).

This is the second time I will be playing with Dawoud on (elecrtic) sitar and also with Ravish. I am sure the music will be something special. It is really a rare combination and instrumentation you will experience: sitar vs. sax vs. laptop. Something unexpected is going to happen. The right music for people who are bored of mainstream and commercial music. You will like or dislike it.

Here is a video of Dawoud playing the sitar
