Dastan

The Morgenland All-Star Band unites several of the most outstanding musical personalities from the Near Orient with European jazz greats such as Frederik Köster and Bodek Janke. Traditional Kurdic music meets Uighur Funk-Rock from Northwest China and jazz from Azerbaijan. Special guest jazz trumpeter Amir El-Saffar combines his musical biographical roots - Iraqi Maqam - and American jazz: a global sound web full of tension, juxtapositions and surprises. This event was recorded live at the NDR Concert Hall in Hanover, Germany.
