First exploration of the Persian dastgah together with the Iraqi maqam in a jazz context. ElSaffar has studied and played with Cecil Taylor, while Modirzadeh has done the same with Ornette Coleman. They bring the influences of these two towers of avant-garde jazz together in their music.

“ElSaffar’s first album under his own name, Two Rivers, is a staggering accomplishment that subtly erases the lines between his two chosen disciplines.” — Chicago Reader
