Jazz that transcends genre boundaries: Isfar Sarabski announces his album "Planet" "Boy, you will play a lot more!" - with these words none other than Quincy Jones Isfar Sarabski predicted a great career some time ago after a performance at Miles Davis Hall on Lake Geneva. The Azerbaijani pianist, composer and arranger, who studied at the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, has announced his debut album "Planet" for April 30th. You can already get an impression of his eclectic variety of jazz with the music video for the title track . Isfar Sarabski combines the experimentation of Nils Frahm with the dreamlike of Ólafur Arnalds, the electronic explorations of Martin Kohlstedt with the symphonic brilliance of Max Richter and the jazz virtuosity of Herbie Hancock. For him, genre boundaries are only there to connect them with one another through musical bridges. Among other things, Sarabski adapted the music of Sophie Hunger (“Le Vent Nous Portera”), expanded the geography of his acoustic works by collaborating with the Tunisian singer and oud player Dhafer Youssef and signed up for collaborations with leading members of Baku's Club Scene together. Regarding the choice of the album title, Sarabski comments: "The album is called 'Planet' because it summarizes my feelings and views about our planet", explains the 31-year-old. "In the compositions I reflect on the people, the events that have affected us all over the past few years, and the new situations we have to deal with, with the wish to enter into a dialogue with my listeners about them."
