Tom Schnabel's Rhythm Planet
Axiom of Choice
Enjoy haunting, intense, and soulfully exotic original compositions that not only incorporate traditional Persian music, but allow the innovative, eastern improvisational skills of quarter-tone guitarist Loga Ramin Torkian, the emotional and poignant melodic textures of vocalist Mamak Khadem, and the rhythmic tension of master percussionist Pejman Haddadi to fuse into progressive and visionary near eastern art music. Axiom of Choice completes its hybrid of western, Persian, and eastern music with the excellent musicianship of Martin Tillman on electric cello and Santnum S. Ramgotra on tabla. The band perform live on Cafe L.A.
