„Kazhargan. A word of open gestures
a word with no specific translation
open values in the meaning for us all to
seek out – find your own way …
in songs of worlds born in
heart sound jazz.“
– Cheryl Pyle 10-29-2011 –
„The poem sets the scene for the entire story. Through the open gestures of talented artists from around the globe Kazhargan World is born. With a love for unity and the furthering of jazz, a unique combination of musical talents took on the distinct challenge of creating world class jazz while never being able to interact in the same room. For generations this concept seemed futile but in truth it was only waiting for the right people to accept the challenge. From Russia to Germany to across the United States of America the artists laid out their hearts and their souls for music that was bigger than them and all about heart and sounds and jazz. As the residents of Kazhargan World we invite you in and we hope you enjoy.“Sean O’Bryan Smith
