Product Description

Award, Amir has been residing in Egypt, further absorbing the musical language of the Middle East, which is beautifully reflected in his use of
Sumerian and Babylonian modes alongside his own microtonal melodic and harmonic language.
With Alchemy, his first recording for standard jazz quintet instrumentation, Amir builds on the work of previous recordings to create more forward-looking works; music that continues to open the door to new possibilities for the future of jazz.
