Teleet+

The Teleet Ensemble with Janice Isabel Jackson (voice), Arash Delavar (guitar), Mohammad Sahraei (tar, setar, beghlama, and hand drum) are joined by Jacques Mindreau (violin), Matt Gallant (percussion), and Lukas Pearse (double bass) for surprisingly refreshing arrangements of international folk music. In vernacular Farsi the word Teleet, borrowed from Persian cuisine, is used to imply a blend, mix, jumble or a collage of different, even unlikely, ingredients. The Teleet Ensemble is the embodiment of programming music which is a collage of styles and innovative approaches to traditional music from diverse regions of the world. Teleet+ is an extension of our quest to explore and expand upon songs ranging from the Appalacian Mountains to the farmlands of Iran.
