Press Quotes
“The trifecta of mind, body, and spirit is the holy trinity of a musician’s overall potential, and Bijan is now the living embodiment of musical manifestation through human form.” (Brett Ecklund, KX 93.5 Jazz Quest Radio)
"[The] musical design is sublime... Textures are often spare. Harmonies are rich. Dramatic tension is high..." (JAZZDAGAMA)
"...one of the most refreshing piano trios in some time." (Michael Toland, The Big Takeover)
"...Taghavi's lithe 'Changes' brings the trio's Evans-like side to the fore..." (Textura)
"Bijan’s orchestration on 'Asojano,' I think is great: only he could have come up with that. It’s a highly pentatonic vocal melody. It’s a Yoruba, Afro-Cuban chant, and then he put all this orchestration behind it that makes it a piano-trio-friendly tune, which is not easy. That’s a completely separate skill, and separate from even improvising." (Will Lyle, London Jazz News)
"Hopskotching through some tricky chordal 'Changes,' bringing some jaunty Americana to the bandstand with the bright highlight of 'Lalyc's Groove'... they make sure the conversation is gripping and the playfulness infectious." (ALLABOUTJAZZ)
