This is Rez Abbasi's third album for the enja label.

This is Rez Abbasi's third album for the label. The New Yorker guitarist with Pakistani roots has found an enticing way to respect both the Indian musical Culture and Charlie Parker at the same time. In his words:'Thinking of the 1970's conjures up a plethora of historical events, one of which is the radical invention of fully electronic instruments. Galvanized in the late 60's but refined in the 70's, these sound-manipulating machines spawned new genres and sub-genres of music including Disco, Funk, Synthpop, Punk-Rock, Progressive-Rock, Heavy Metal and New Wave. I discovered Jazz in 1983 via Charlie Parker. My formative years were spent studying and absorbing the music of the 40's, 50's and 60's. I continued to make my way through the timeline and soon discovered Jazz from the 70's. At the time, I found myself unwilling to make friends with the synthetic, sometimes brash, saturated electric textures that were spewing out of the speakers even though my primary instrument was and still is the electric guitar. Subsequently I ended up bypassing much of the 70's Jazz period.
