The best of Reza‘s repertoire from seven albums, including new music from his new release “Mystical.” Reza Khan guitar Jeff Kashiwa sax Mauricio Zottarelli drums Matt King piano Leo Traversa bass Jennifer Grimm vocals Tushar and Joy special guests

Over the course of his six previous albums, starting with his debut ‘Painted Diaries’ in 2009, Reza Khan has worked with some of the biggest names in contemporary jazz while developing a fascinating trademark fusion of pop, jazz, soul and world influences.

His empowering world jazz guitar music is steeped in his international roots and status as a socially conscious musical citizen of the world. Along the way, the Bangladesh-born, NYC-based composer and guitarist has enjoyed several breakthrough hits on the Billboard Jazz chart, including his first Top Ten single “Drop of Faith” (featuring Nils) from his critically acclaimed fifth album ‘Next Train Home’ and “Waiting for the Sky” from the 2021 collection ‘Imaginary Road.’

“His acclaim as a guitarist, composer and globally conscious musical visionary over the past 13 years has earned him the respect of the contemporary jazz community and many high-profile collaborations.” –Jonathan Widran
