Persian Party

Vocalist and bandleader Saba Amrei brings Persian Party to life as a vibrant musical time capsule, reimagining the sound of Iran in the 1970s and 80s, and drawing from iconic artists like Hayedeh, Kourosh Yaghmaei, Ramesh, and Googoosh. With Conrad Good (bass), Todd Stewart (drums), Julian Jayme (guitar), Jocelyn Waugh (trumpet), and Ma’Afu Keteca (saxophone), the Vancouver-based Saba Amrei’s Persian Party revives a golden era of Iranian music through the lens of jazz, improvisation, and modern collaboration, and imagines a world where jazz never stopped in Iran, and where Latin and Brazilian influences kept evolving within the deep grooves, storytelling, and spontaneous interplay of Iranian improv and dance music.
