Musicians
Amir ElSaffar
trumpetAbout
Using resonance as its governing principle, ElSaffar’s 17-member ensemble incorporates elements of maqam modal music of the Middle East with jazz and other contemporary musical practices to create a unique microtonal musical environment that moves beyond the notions of style and tradition into a realm of uninhibited musical communication. The ensemble features musicians from all over the world and a broad spectrum of traditions, from maqam to American jazz.
