Time: 8:30pm til 9:30
Venue: Cafe Nadery – Manhattan (16 W8th Street, New York, New York 10011)
Ticket: donation

Sohrab will play solo for the first time tomorrow night. He blends melancholic melodies with those of his native Iran. His music fueled by improvisation, with an ambient and psychedelic take on World music. He’s going to play on tenor sax and soprano sax songs from his CD SoSaLa “Nu World Trash.”

His voice will express all the things that his saxophones can’t express.

He won’t let the audience eat or drink, because they will be a part of the concert. Sohrab’s going to create the space and ambiance for people to participate in the concert. They will love or hate him. Nu World Trash means to be active and activate other people as well. He wants to tell musical stories people haven’t heard before. Make them imagine things they haven’t dreamt of.

The members are: Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi on sax and vocals, Dave Ross on guitar, Michael Wimberly on drums, djembe & vocals, Bradley Madsen on electric trombone and John Pietaro on vibes. This is the first time that SoSaLa is without an oud and bass player. (Unfortunately Damon Banks on bass and Brian Prunka on oud and guitar left the band recently due to their commitments to their own solo projects.)

SoSaLa will be playing a 90 minutes long set performing the hit songs from the new CD SoSaLa “Nu World Trash”: “New Welcome Iran”, “Sad Sake,” “Happy April Fool’s Day”, and new songs.

SoSaLa’s purpose is to make you aware that music is free of any dogmas, rules and any kind of discrimination and injustice. For this reason SoSaLa has been supporting the musicians union Local 802 “Justice For Jazz Artistsmovement.
