Variously described as “ethno-jazz,” “world-jazz,” and “folk-jazz fusion,” Zela Margossian’s music rises above all these labels as a product of her own unique constellation of influences and lived experiences. An ARIA-award nominated pianist and composer, Margossian’s quintet fuses her rich Armenian heritage with her love of improvisation. Having performed around the world at many major festivals including EFG London Jazz Festival and Beirut International Jazz Festival, and currently signed to US label Ropeadope, SIMA is thrilled to welcome the ZMQ back to the stage.
With the recent release of their third album, Zela Margossian Quintet will showcase an eclectic mix of tunes drawn from their extensive repertoire, woven over years.
