SUMMARY:Maydan Ensemble of the North London Jazz Collective
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Maydan Ensemble of the North London Jazz Collective 
 is a quintet that blends modern jazz with Arabic, Anatolian and Persia
 n folk music. Having formed at the start of 2025, they have wowed audi
 ences, selling out multiple venues across London, including Palestine 
 House and the Green Note, as well as recently headlining Zeman Festiva
 l in Serbia. They are a fully international group comprising some of L
 ondon’s busiest jazz musicians in a unique setting: - rising star Am
 ena El Adb, the Egyptian singer - acclaimed Irish-Iranian jazz guitari
 st Kourosh Kanani - one the finest Iranian folk musicians in London, P
 arham Bahadoran on reeds (zurna, duduk and clarinet) - Italian-English
  bassist and stalwart of the London jazz scene Lorenzo Morabito (Giaco
 mo Smith, Peter Horsfall, Mark Kavuma etc); - Londoner Robbie Ellison 
 (Steve Fishwick, Frank Basile, etc) on drums.\nThe group explores the 
 intersection of jazz and a bricolage of Middle Eastern musical traditi
 ons from two perspectives: that of material from the jazz canon inspir
 ed by West Asia; and that of the group's own jazz-flavoured arrangemen
 ts and renditions of Arabic, Anatolian and Persian folk tunes.\n’May
 dan’ means ‘town square’ or ‘public meeting-place’. Originat
 ing in Farsi, the word now finds usage in Arabic, Turkish, Urdu, Georg
 ian and Ukrainian. In taking this name, the group recognises first and
  foremost that diverse musical traditions find commonality by their gr
 ounding in communal life and social practice, while embracing the subv
 ersive political potential of music as a collective, convivial act.\nA
 bout the North London Jazz Collective: The NLJC is a community of the 
 UK’s finest jazz musicians who’s collective output explores all th
 ings from trad and gypsy jazz, swing and bebop to more contemporary an
 d experimental stylings. Our members play regularly at the UK's top ve
 nues such as Ronnie Scotts, Soho Pizza, 606, Vortex etc; at major fest
 ivals both in UK (eg. London Jazz Festival and Love Supreme Festival) 
 as well as touring extensively in Europe and elsewhere. Members have r
 eceived recognition such as BBC Young Jazz musician of the Year, Arts 
 Council Grants, and other awards for performances and recordings. The 
 Collective meets every Wednesday for the Brewhouse Session in Highbury
 , where a different house band each week plays a set of curated materi
 al which is followed by, what has become over the last year, one of th
 e most talked-about jam sessions in London. While guest artists, inter
 national and UK-based, have included Gabrielle Stravelli, Pete Horsfal
 l, Mark Taylor, Pat O’Leary, Neil Saidi, Noe Codjia, Olli Soikelli,
