		The Azeris are typically Muslim and have a mixed cultural heritage of Turkic, Iranian, and Caucasian elements.
		In many respects, Azeris are Eurasian and bi-cultural, as northern Azeris have absorbed Russo-Soviet and Eastern European influences, whereas the Azeris of the south have remained within the Turko-Iranian and Persianate tradition.
		According to Iranian Azeri singer Hossein Alizadeh, "Historically in Iran, music faced strong opposition from the religious establishment, forcing it to go underground." As a result, most Iranian Azeri music is performed outside of Iran amongst exile communities.

	RAHMAN ASADOLLAHI / Seveneighths.com / 7/8 Music Productions
		To hear his music is to taste the dreams and laments of the Azeri people, a mistreated people denied of their basic human rights.
		Azeri music employs mughams, similar to Turkish makams and Persian dasgahs, involving free improvisations, instrumental melody, and folk motifs to evoke certain moods.
		Asadollahi's movements lend a coincident touch to the music, his fingers flashing across the small keyboard, his hands embracing and squeezing a unique sweet-toned garmon accordion, which is rooted in Azerbaijan, Iran and is held by a single shoulder strap and the right hand is used in four-finger chromatic style.

	Dastgah3 Persian Art Music
		The study of Azeri music and Turkish sources clearly shows that the revival of Persian music was related to Azeri and Caucasian culture.
		Far from being a weakness in the musical system, the absence of written symbols is a necessary state for the live and precise music transmission of the repertory, since written description can only outline the general format, to the detriment of its subtleties (unless it becomes unreadable).
		In the process of acquiring this form of perception, the artist also cultivates a musical sense which is the prerequisite of creativity: the melodic sense, the sense of composition and development, of rhythm and phrasing.

	WELLCOME TO «MUGAM»
		The music critics of Iran, Arabian countries and also other countries, making investigations of mugam state, that mugam had been widely spread out in Sasani times (III-VII centuries) and mugams were played in the form of «destgah», which means in groups.
		Azerbaijani called this musical genre as «mugam», Turks and Arabians as «makam», Persians as «destgah», Indians as «paga», Tadjiks and Uzbeks as «makom», Turkmens and Uygurs as «mukam», the Japaneses as «gaganu», Indonesians as «patet», the Kazakhs as «kuy», the Kirghiz as «ky», Pakistani as «khayyal».
		Azerbaijan mugams, being different from pieces of music of this genre, have been enriched in the essence by the talent of conducting of our singers and have been matured in the form.

		“Mugam,” describe a specific type of musical composition and performance, which is hard to grasp with western concepts of music in another respect: for one, Mugam composition is improvisational in nature.
		With respect to the concept of improvisation, Mugam music is often put in relation to jazz, a comparison that is accurate to a certain point only.

		The musicians and reciters are masters of their chosen art, regionally and worldwide, with numerous years of intense study (or a lifetime devotion to studying) from a long lineage of great composers, reciters, mystics and spiritual leaders, such as the world-famous Whirling Dervishes of Turkey and living legend Ustad Bary Fateh Ali Khan of Pakistan.
		Azeri classical music, although less well-known, is very close to Persian music: a musician must be able to improvize inside the strict structure of a given musical mode.
		While much Western ambient and pseudospiritual music is made in his name these days, there is still a continuing tradition of respect and creation carried on by Iranian artists, and this CD is a testament to his inspiration.

		There was a tendency by those who knew about western musical styles and who had access to certain scores to jealously guard this information for their own use.
		This is a long-term consideration because, although the Azeri Pianists who have been trained in the Russian School are clearly quite capable of achieving international status, the same cannot be said for the schools of wind and string playing in Azerbaijan.
		On the other hand, the best way to promote Azeri music would be the distribution of audiovisual materials which would be the means of allowing Azeri artists to present concerts in other parts of the world.

		Here it is: "The country's musical traditions are preserved by ashugs, or poet-singers, who often strum the kobuz (a stringed instrument) while singing of the deeds of ancient heroes.
		To me, this suggests that Azeri music is very different from the musics of other Central Asian nations, and that it takes its cues from Iran (which is located right to the south and which possesses a rich and very popular classical tradition).
		Susan Cornnell's article, "Baku Diary: The Music Scene," notes, "I've seen many Azerbaijanis listen to a tune only once and then be able to play it back, improvising and improving upon it.

		And though it is a church music, he easily recognised th etnic Armenian sounds in it.
		There are also Armenian classic music (for example Jivan Gasparian) which sounds similar to the Persian classical music (however the Persian equivalants usually use Dombäk insted of Dehol and more Ney than Duduk), and had been music of higher classes, kings, Lords, artisans or intellectual.
