The band strives to reach a balance between classical music, jazz, and the music of Azmeh’s homeland, Syria. Azmeh’s expressive clarinet meets Kyle Sanna’s rustic guitar, soaring over the dynamic and volatile backdrop of Bodek Janke’s percussion and Petros Klampanis on bass.
Each band member has come from a varied background to add their personal flair to this ensemble, resulting in a thoroughly exciting and rewarding listening experience.
The band gained recognition for its virtuosic and high-energy performance, receiving praise from critics and audiences alike.
