Jazz Guitarist Reza Khan Embarks On A “Mystical” Journey

World jazz guitarist Reza Khan collaborates with producer, horn player David Mann, and other musicians on his new album “Mystical,” which will arrive on March 8.     

Khan has a lengthy history of collaborating with Mann, who as a saxophonist, flutist, and woodwinds player has worked with superstars. Mann was Khan’s first call to co-write and produce the album when he conceived the project. On Khan’s six albums, he had never before turned the producer’s duties completely over to anyone, but he trusted Mann to helm “Mystical” after having had a positive experience on his previous outing, 2021’s “Imaginary Road.” 

With Mann aboard, Khan decided to do something else he never did before: begin composing music for the album with specific featured artists in mind – even before asking if they would be willing to guest on the album – including Bob James, Jimmy Haslip,  Keiko Matsui and Philippe Saisse, and  Nils Jiptner.
