What distinguishes the Jazz_Bishkek_Spring festival is its openness to creative exchanges between western jazz and Central Asian musical traditions. The musicians of Mizrob (top), an ensemble from Tajikistan, play traditional instruments, like tabla and oud, and “draw their inspiration from folk music,” according to festival organizers, whereas the
“reckless improvisations” of
Zarbituric, a French quartet, “ may burst into an intimate, sensual, and occasionally somber atmosphere.” See http:
