Hailed for his expressive compositions and lyricism, pianist and composer Daahoud Salim assembled his international quintet – now premiering in the United States for their first American tour – in 2015 in Amsterdam. Since then, the artists have released four recordings and performed in leading concert halls and at festivals across Europe. Their music features Salim’s compositions as well as those of his father Abdu Salim, a pioneer of jazz in Spain, founder of the first school of jazz of Andalusia, and a source of inspiration for the entire ensemble. Their stirring live performances transmit energy and spirituality to listeners of all ages.

This performance is supported by New Amsterdam Jazz. Jazz at Lincoln Center, Hamptons Jazz Fest and Keystone Korner are co-presenting his US debut.
