For a decade, Rez Abbasi has been blazing a new trail along with cohorts Rudresh Mahanthappa and Vijay Iyer as a leading figure in Indian-American cutting-edge jazz. Born in Pakistan, Rez migrated to the US at age four. From an early age he emerged himself in both western and eastern music, studying and performing with a variety of Indian classical and jazz musicians. His compositions and playing reflect his individuality and create an ideal hybrid of modern jazz and world inflections.
