Reza Khan

Born: February 10, 1965

REZA KHAN

Since his 2009 debut Painted Diaries, Bangladesh-born, New York–based guitarist and composer Reza Khan has written conceptually, enlisting heavy hitters from world music and contemporary jazz to weave lush musical storylines. His new album, Shadow Dancers, incorporates material developed over years and reshaped in a more personal context.

As such, the title track marks his first return to an older piece in over a decade. Like his previous releases, the album is conceived as a unified, theme-driven work rather than a collection of standalone tracks. His catalog includes multiple Billboard-charting releases, with a Top 10 single in “Drop of Faith,” and a steady run of recordings that have developed his collaborative, player-specific approach. The album draws from both new compositions and long-held ideas. “I went back to earlier material, polished it, and gave it a new meaning,” he says.
