Zoe Rahman, one of the brightest stars on the contemporary jazz scene, has just released her new album, “Where Rivers Meet”, which is the follow up to her Mercury Music Prize nominated ‘Melting Pot’ album. An exceptional composer in her own right, this new album sees Zoe collaborate with her brother, clarinettist Idris Rahman, on some unique, jazz-inspired interpretations of Bengali music, including the songs of Rabindranath Tagore, Abbasuddin and Hemanta Kumar Mukherjee, among others.
Much acclaimed for her formidable technical ability and exuberant performance, pianist Rahman is joined on the album by her brother and regular trio partners, the spectacularly innovative drummer Gene Calderazzo and sensitive but rhythmic bassist Oli Hayhurst. Appearing alongside them is an exciting array of guest artists that includes Bengali vocal star Arnob, vibrant percussionist and tabla player Kuljit Bhamra and the stunningly talented violinist Samy Bishai.
They will be touring the UK from 9th October.
