Thanks to a couple of free tix from Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi, my friend Ann and I got to see the Road to Jajouka performance at Le Poisson Rouge on June 15th. For those, like us, who were not familiar with the Master Musicians of Jajouka, (although Ann and I caught a brief glimpse of their music when they appeared at the Ornette Coleman tribute at Prospect Park a few nights before) perhaps the first question to be addressed is : who are they, and why have so many diverse musicians sought them out to play and record with going back to 1971?
