With diverse cultural and musical influences, the Fareed Haque Group is opening new doors with a completely fresh approach to world music that grooves and percolates. The group makes its debut with the release of Cosmic Hug a unique combination of world, jazz, and jam. Earthy, vital, breezy, electric, and truly eclectic, Fareed Haque Group defies easy categorization; they have a sound that will appeal to many while compromising to no one. The band approaches the art of jazz improvisation in wide-ranging ways, bringing Middle Eastern scales, American-pop song forms and other far-flung elements to everything he plays.”
