A musical project led by Payam Ghasemi, offering a unique experience where jazz, groove, and fusion

blend with a touch of Middle Eastern music

​

As the project's founder, Payam ensures that each musician freely shares their own story on stage,

adding their personal touch and bringing a new layer to the music. With strong melodies and an

energetic groove, the group takes the audience on a journey that is both joyful and meditative and

the harmony and connection between the musicians can be felt in every moment.

​

In May 2025, the group had a successful tour across Turkey and also performed at ICI Jazz Fest,

organized by Marseille Jazz des Cinq Continents.

​

The Project got two amazing pianists who take turns lighting up the keys — each brings their own

vibe, and they alternate depending on the show. Sometimes, the band expands to a sextet, with Rob

also playing guitar, adding a different color to the sound.

The album is planned to be released in 2026, but until then, you can already watch some videos of

recent concerts on Payam’s YouTube channel.
