Sohrab’s achievement in the Japanese indie music scene!

In his almost 30 years of performing in Japan Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi was consistently one of the most inventive, interesting, challenging and entertaining of performer-musicians. Freely mixing jazz, fusion, world music, experimental and free sounds Sohrab always added an unexpected yet refreshing element to his shows. Over the years he performed with numerous local and touring musicians, as well as various incarnations of his own band, and pushed the Japanese scene to limits it would not otherwise have seen.
