Album Description

"Nu World Trash" is SoSaLa’s debut release, on NYC’s DooBeeDoo Records, but continues the long career of Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi aka SoSaLa – saxophonist, soundtrack composer, editor of the on-line music magazine DooBeeDooBeeDoo, music activist and martial arts master (formerly of groups The Tehran- Dakar Brothers, and SADATO). Whether blasting his horn in front of the United Nations in support of the Green Movement for Iran, gigging around town, or playing on the streets of the city, Sohrab’s presence in NYC can be felt, and through the new music on this CD the essence of those experiences are captured. SoSaLa fuses free jazz with world music, with a particular emphasis on the Persian influences that come from Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi’s aka SoSaLa native Iran. On sax, Sohrab draws from his time playing with legends and friends like Salif Keita and Ornette Coleman, and Bachir Attar of the Master Musicians of JaJouka, as well as his time spent living in Switzerland, Germany, Japan, and now New York City. His bold original sound ranges from the soulful and melodic to the brash and contemplative, with swells of Middle-Eastern infused blowing tangled throughout.
