Project
The idea for the Jazz-Makhom project was initially suggested by the Uzbek manager and musical producer Asror Isahodjaev and then developed by Andrea Romani. The central idea is to create an original melting of jazz and the Uzbek maqom tradition, bringing to life “other-ways” the Uzbek maqoms without altering their essence.This project has been developed thanks to a collaboration between Uzbek and European musicians and funded by the Embassy of France in Uzbekistan, then the same concept was extended to other central asian countries
Funded by the Embassy of France in Uzbekistan, Jazz-Maqom had the opportunity to implement :
​
a Residency in Tashkent 18-23 October 2021
and two concerts in Tashkent 23-24 October in "Ilhom" theatre and "Muqqimi" theatre.
performed by four european and five Uzbek musicians.
​
By bringing the maqôms to life in a different way, it is also a question of making this form better
known as
in its original form as a cultural
heritage
