Saint Abdullah & Jason Nazary

Saint Abdullah & Jason Nazary

When Saint Abdullah linked up with drummer and composer Jason Nazary, something electric sparked. Drawn to the Tehran-born brothers’ music, Nazary contacted them and not only did they discover the reciprocal appreciation, but also that they were neighbours in Brooklyn. The newborn but prolific trio started improvising together and in 2023 they released two out-of-control explosive albums: Evicted In the Morning and Looking Through Us. Both of them display two vast and different sound palettes, where thunderous drums meet Sufi chants and glitchy modular synths experimentation. While the first album was a tender, limpid free jazz sonic journey, the second collaboration is a total head-shredder from start to finish. The possibilities of where they could go during their live show are truly endless.
