About this Song
Shujat Ali Khan, the featured artist on this recording, anchors the collaborative spirit of Eid Mubarak, a jazz work originating from Indonesia that extends the long, fluid tradition of cross-cultural exchange that has defined jazz’s global evolution from its earliest origins to its contemporary iterations across every inhabited continent. Jazz has never been a static form, bound by the borders of the region where it first coalesced; instead, it has always been a medium that absorbs, responds to, and elevates the cultural contexts it moves through, and Indonesia’s rich, multifaceted creative landscape has been a particularly fertile ground for this kind of adaptive, boundary-pushing jazz creation for generations.
