Mahku [LP]

Manizeh - Mahku [LP]

A deeply moving debut: Mahku by Manizeh Rimer -- founder of London's Love Supreme Projects -- is a spiritual jazz album that bridges generations, cultures, and time. Co-produced by ganavya (Daughter of a Temple) and LEITER co-founder Felix Grimm, it was recorded at Berlin's Funkhaus with a stellar cast: Grammy-nominated Jai Uttal, bassists Doug Weiss and Ben Hazleton, harpist Miriam Adefris, pianist Jay Verma, and Manizeh's daughter Mahku Rimer. The eight tracks -- including a touching reinterpretation of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" -- are musical prayers blending Zoroastrian, Buddhist, Hindu, and Tibetan traditions. "Mahku" means "eclipse" -- a symbol of unity and transformation. It's also the name of Manizeh's grandmother, whose spiritual legacy lives on through this music. 01. Ashem Vohu 02. Bhaisajyaguru 03.
