Joseph Shabason is a talented saxophonist known for his captivating and emotive performances. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of genres, including jazz, ambient, and experimental music, Shabason creates unique compositions that transport listeners to another realm.

With his mesmerizing soundscapes and intricate melodies, *Shabason* has garnered comparisons to artists such as Gaussian Curve, Arp, and Suso Saiz. His music captivates audiences with its ethereal beauty and evocative storytelling.

In addition to his solo work, *Shabason* has collaborated with various musicians in projects like Slow Attack Ensemble and Shabason & Krgovich. He continues to push the boundaries of saxophone music by exploring new sonic territories and experimenting with different textures.

Across eight tracks that mesh spacious, jazz-laced composition with fourth-world tonality, saxophonist Joseph Shabason sketches an auditory map of the transcendence, unity, conditioning, and eventual renunciation of his upbringing in an Islamic and Jewish dual-faith household. The resulting album The Fellowship bears the name of the insular Islamic community Shabason’s traditionally Jewish parents belonged to from a time before he was even born; a mental and spiritual push-pull which continued shaping, even controlling, his outlook well into his adulthood. As a listening experience The Fellowship follows a chronological arc that spans three generations covering his parents’ early lives, his own spiritual and physical adolescence, and his subsequent struggle to eschew the problematic habituations of such a conflicted past. On The Fellowship, as on prior albums that bear his name, Joseph Shabason does what only the best instrumental music makers can: tell a story with emotional clarity that conveys even the subtlest of feelings, all without singing a single word. As wordless as ever-- with as complex a theme as ever-- this album may be his most emotionally articulate yet. Most importantly, those lost in the woods of repression and self-doubt that organized religion can be at its worst now have The Fellowship to help guide them into a softer light.
