Drawing heavily on influences from Middle Eastern 'Baladi' to traditional Eastern European and Nordic Folk Song, Jazz and the Avant Garde, the quintet brings a colorful blend of styles and personality with each member. Aiseiri is trumpeter Patrice Barbanchon, multi-reed player Jonathan Kay, guitarist Avi Granite, double bassist Neal Davis and drummer/percussionist Gregg Brennan. The debut Aiseiri release Bird on Triangle is available from Standback Records (www.standbackrecords.com).
