in collaboration with Vida Ghahremani,L. Peter Callender, Nakissa Etemad, Laura Hope, and Marcus Shelby
Inspired by Duke Ellington Orchestra's 1963 tour to Iran and featuring music by Marcus Shelby, Isfahan Blues imagines an unlikely friendship between an American jazz musician and an
Iranian actress. As they travel together to Isfahan, "the most beautiful city in the world," Jazz inspires them to test the limits of freedom, creativity, and experimentation.
Contrary to today's political stalemate between the US and Iran, this production aims to shed light on a little-known historical moment when a uniquely American art form inspired generations of young Iranian musicians.
