Enver Izmailov Trio - Minaret - CD - 2001

Цитата:
Enver Ismailov lives in Crimea, a peninsula in the Black Sea that used to belong to Greeks, Ottoman Turks, Russians and now is part of Ukraine. He is of Crimean Tatar stock, which means his native music is filled with complicated odd meters resembling Turkish, Balkan and Mediterranean ethnic traditions. Born and raised in Ferghana (now in Uzbekistan), he was exposed to traditional music of Central Asia and began his career performing at Uzbek weddings. In the late 1970s Ismailov independently developed the technique of tapping without knowing anything about Stanley Jordan, the official pioneer of guitar tapping. In the 1980s Ismailov played with Sato, a groundbreaking ethnic-fusion band that made a sensation at Soviet jazz festivals and recorded a couple of excellent albums. In 1988 he moved to Crimea, and in 1995 was awarded the title of best European guitarist at a guitar festival in Lausanne, Switzerland. On Minaret Ismailov's sidemen are percussionist Rustem Bari and saxophone, clarinet and flute player Narket Ramazanov. Bari is a master of various percussion instruments, and Ramazanov sounds like an Oriental virtuoso turned into a devout disciple of Coltrane. Ismailov's compositions are often based on Crimean, Cacausian, Uzbek, Russian and Indian folk tunes. Without using any electronic gadgets he makes his guitar sound like a sitar, ancient lute, cembalo, Uzbek dutar or Turkish oud, said a Ukrainian jazz critic. Enver Izmailov is world known guitarist-virtuoso. But this trio is not his solo project. Three great musicians: Enver Izmailov, Narket Ramazanov (brass), Rustem Bahri (percussion) all are world-class musicians. Their talents are united in this music. Musicians present on this CD their comprehension of folk music. Different kinds of folk music: musicians native, Crimean Tatar's music, and folk music of other Black Sea nations.
