Hossein Alizâdeh - Alizadeh Live At The Los Angeles Festival Improvisation In Dastgãhé Navã

Review by Brittney Quarles

Hossein Alizadeh's latest album, Alizadeh Live At The Los Angeles Festival Improvisation In Dastgãhé Navã, is a mesmerizing collection of improvisational pieces that showcase the Iranian composer's mastery of the tar, a traditional Persian stringed instrument.

Recorded live at the Los Angeles Festival, the album features Alizadeh's improvisations in the Dastgãhé Navã mode, which is characterized by its hauntingly beautiful melodies and intricate rhythms.

The album opens with "Navã Improvisation," a slow and contemplative piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. As Alizadeh's fingers glide over the strings of the tar, the listener is transported to another world, one where time seems to stand still and the only thing that matters is the music.

Other standout tracks include "Daramad Navã," which features a lively and upbeat melody, and "Tasnif Navã," a slower piece that showcases Alizadeh's ability to evoke deep emotion through his playing.
