SoSaLa performing “nu world trashy” music based on desert-Persian-Spanish blues styles and jazzy improvs.

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 Artists” movement.

The Chicago music invasion is ‘really” happening: March 5th through March 10th, 2013!!!

Anouncement, Concert/Tour,

IMG_0259After performing in New Orleans in December 2012 the next cities Sohrab wants to visit with his horn are Chicago, Normal and Bloomington which are about 2 hours away from Chicago. This time he’s going alone because all SoSaLa members were not available. In Normal and Bloomington he’s going to play a house concert and guest lecturing at Illinois State University. In Chicago he’s playing with local musicians under the name of SoSaLa or guesting in local bands.
