Mahan Mirarab: Guitar
Martin Heinzle: Bass
Babak Maddah: Drums

ALL ABOUT JAZZ : Songs like "Haj Ghorban" and "A Week of Moonlight" dazzle with Mirarab's enigmatic, transcendent guitar playing, fusing Middle Eastern textures with traditional jazz rhythms.

JAZZ TIMES : "Persian Side of Jazz" enlightens listeners by revealing how widespread jazz's influence is.

JAZZ CORNER : Persian Side of Jazz is one of the year's most unique and compelling releases mainly because the stylistic blueprint of Mirarab's compositions draw upon stylistic influences, mainly Persian folk and world music, that are exotic to stateside ears.
