From the views of others
Artists’ Views on Jalil Shahnaz and Darwish Khan’s Inaugural Ritual at Arasbaran Cultural Center in Year 2006
– Hassan Kasai: Knowing music is not everyone’s job. Everyone listens to music and loves it, but it is rare to find a person who can understand Nasheed and be able to understand the authority played by Master Shahnaz. Everybody plays and everybody plays well, but the power of the music and the moments of music that Mr. Shahnaz knows and has performed is not in everyone’s hands. That is, it is not Iranian music. Mr. Shahnaz’s power in answering and doubling is extraordinary. I have been playing with them for 60 years and my band is tied with Shahnaz.
– Mohammad Reza Shajarian: Shahnaz instrument lives in me and I live with Shahnaz instrument. I’m the only singer I consider myself a student of Galilee Shahnaz. This unmatched instrument is an acoustic instrument, unlike other musicians who play 20% and only 80% vocal. Jalil Shahnaz has come to the real expression of dark music, because he does not stay in line and imitate others, like a roaring waterfall.
– Dariush Pirniakan: Jalil Shahnaz is an artist with many angles in compromise. In addition to its full rows and secrets, it had another unique feature. The answer to masterful and unique songs, the use of all the instruments, the playing of many angles, the wording of the playing are among the characteristics of Jalil Shahnaz.
– Parviz Yahaghi: Shahnaz closes Tar Office
A lifetime of power to build up
The buzz of playing pride
One hundred years of being able to strum
But you can not become Jalil Shahnaz
– Mohammad Reza Shajarian after the death of Jalil Shahnaz said: Master Jalil Shahnaz created in me a passion and love and I came here with the voice of Shahnaz and the word Master just deserved Shahnaz and Master Jalil Shahnaz as Hafez that is unbreakable and with respect to all. Tar Musicians After Master Shahnaz, the Tar Office of Iran should be closed.
