“Reza Khan’s Shadow Dancers will probably be marketed as ‘smooth jazz,’ and while it shares some surface characteristics, that’s not entirely what’s going on here. I’d call it contemporary instrumental music with global elements. His new album evokes the depths of night, when the context of the world melts away. I’m drawn to his playing, his writing, and that sense of emotional transportation — of immersion, of being taken somewhere else. ‘Smooth’ or not, that’s what great wordless music is all about.”
— Morgan Enos, JazzTimes, UK Jazz News, GRAMMY.com
“Reza’s project is beautiful. He is one of the most melodic and musical composers in contemporary jazz today. His compositions have a perfect balance of melodic, harmonic and rhythmical themes that are fresh, sophisticated and always enjoyable to the listener — and player! A much-welcomed breath of fresh air maintaining the jazz in contemporary jazz.”
— Jeff Kashiwa, saxophonist
“I am so excited to be a part of this project . . . my third with him. This time, it’s a much more adventurous project, beyond the confine of smooth jazz radio and progressive. . . I think Reza reached a new level as a composer on this new one.”
— Philippe Saisse, keyboardist
“With his latest and most ambitious album to date, he’s ready to join the ranks of all the greats he has played with for years, reaching new levels of acceptance and success.”
— Jonathan Widran
