Recent Press
"Snake Charmer is, quite simply, a breakthrough
record, with all its elements on clear display yet perfectly assimilated." Allaboutjazz
"Both Abbasi's adroit soloing and his lean, evolving tunes are generated by exceptional reach and a very musical passion." - New York Press
"Most likely one of 2005's more important releases."

"Snake Charmer" is the first recording Abbasi has done that stresses his South Asian background. Rez was born in the Indian Sub-Continent, raised in the states and all along has been interested in Indian and Pakistani music along with studying jazz. The music here is a confluence of the two worlds meeting in an organic, substantial way. The core of the group is an guitar-organ-drums trio featuring the rising organist Gary Versace and exceptional drums and tabla playing of Danny Weiss. Special guests are the incomparable Dave Liebman on soprano sax and Juno Award winning Kiran Ahluwalia on Indian vocals. Rez also plays a hybrid sitar-guitar on two cuts. Renowned Jazz journalist Bill Milkowski writes:
"Snake Charmer is a fascinating and compelling hybrid of East and West...as organic as John Mclaughlin's Shakti, but with Abbasi's own sound."
