Organizing sounds and telling stories. Cyrus Nabipoor’s unmistakable voice on the trumpet rings with honesty, warmth and lyricism. Melody reigns as Nabipoor balances focused clarity with daring exploration. Through his pairing of trumpet and electronics, Nabipoor bridges the conceived dichotomy of nature & technology, exploring new tonal possibilities.

In his latest release, Nabipoor makes a powerful debut as a bandleader. Recorded live in New Orleans, the album showcases his compositional prowess, mastery of the horn and musical sensitivity. It features a stellar lineup of musicians who each shine in their respective roles.  

“‘Live at the Marigny Opera House’ is an exhilarating debut from an artist we can expect to keep pushing boundaries.” -KMHD
