The Nu Nova Compound is one of my recent performance concepts and configurations. It is an outgrowth of my musical explorations with the Nova Ghost Sect*Tet, an ensemble composed of musicans from global hubs as diverse as the San Francisco Bay Area, Amsterdam, Suriname, Brazil, Senegal, Gambia, Japan...We did an excellent recording in the old Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California entitled "Life On Uranus" for Challange Records in The Netherlands....Over time this has evolved to intergrate elements escavated from my most recent musical travel, experiences, encounters, exchanges into what i now conceive of as the Nu Nova Compound...it addresses other areas of my concerns as a "creatician" with influences from other genre as well...spoken word..film and visual arts...
We have a current CD produced by Tahoe Records you can hear excerpts from here entitled ...
"A Gift From Trane" .....dedicated to Jackie Mclean.........

ghasem! how are you doing? we are keepin up pretty fine. The final stages of our mozaic is there and hopefully by next week we can get things going to the factory hope u and the family are doing well. reckon you have some 'holiday vibes', going back home and all :-) good luck and cool runnings
nice music! it's amazing to accidentally find something so authentic, so coltranetive (hope that ad hoc coined word will do) keep that spiritual music coming, especially these days when, seems, it is going to become extinct
