Kourosh Kanani and Matt Davies are redefining the boundaries of contemporary music by weaving the rich traditions of Iran, India, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Kurdistan into a modern jazz tapestry. Through Kourosh’s deeply expressive guitar work and Matt’s innovative use of electronics and rethinking of the drum kit their duo creates a powerful dialogue between important ancient cultural legacies and cutting-edge soundscapes. Their music is both a tribute to the heritage of these diverse regions and a bold exploration of their modern relevance, offering audiences a mesmerizing experience that transcends borders, time, and genre. It’s blend of tradition and innovation, rooted in jazz yet unbound by convention.
Kourosh and Matt will perform at our opening concert on Friday 12th September 2025.
