Texy by Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi
Let me introduce you to one of my great drummers and let me tell you what I know about him: Swiss Chris, who’s real name is Christoph Flueck, is originally from Switzerland. I met and played with him for the first time in Greg Tate’s Burnt Sugar Orchestra in Harlem in 2008. Later he invited me to play with him at his Aung San Suu Kyi benefit concert in Williamsburg later that year. We both enjoyed playing together. I liked his modern drumming approach: fusing drumming and sample manipulation and his ability to play polyrhythms. Like me he loves improvisation. With all this said it was very easy for me to ask him to join my band, called the Tehran-Dakar Brothers at that time, later in 2009. He also recorded with me on my new CD SoSaLa Nu World Trash.
