Crescent Moon by Abbas Premjee Abbas Premjee : Crescent Moon.
 A fusion of rock and jazz from the east and the west that brings minds, hearts and souls together.

Each track on this album has been written with the help of Indian ragas: scalar and melodic patterns that convey distinct essences of emotions. To this, I have added sounds of rock, jazz and whatever else that came in my mind. The combination works.

A host of influences have converged here ranging from the ancient sounds of Indian ragas to contemporary hip-hop beats. The result is sometimes hypnotic and sometimes melancholic. Our ancestors had a much deeper connection with music than we do, on a spiritual and emotional level. I would like to reestablish that connection.

Crescent Moon features the mohan veena, a modern version of an ancient Indian instrument. The mohan veena, being a slide instrument, possesses the ability to play microtonally and bring out the true nature of the ragas.
