He is a project manager in
an urban management center, after many years of
overseas work in humanitarian aid and socio-economic
development. Living close to the town of Montreux,
famous for its Jazz Festival, he has often attended
this amazing place, where the best jazz musicians
have performed. He came to like smooth jazz thanks
to amazing musicians such as the Brecker Brothers
and David Sanborn, who played several times at
Montreux Jazz Festival. In his spare time, Akbar
hosted a radio show devoted to world music in
a local radio station during 12 months. He is
curious by nature and loves to find out about
culture.
He has very eclectic tastes, writing
for a French-speaking web site devoted to English
football (or soccer, as you say it in North America)
(www.footanglais365.com), reading a lot, travelling,
raising his 2 years-old daughter and attending
jazz concerts. |

My best memories were when I attended
the last concert of the "King of Jazz",
as I describe him, Sir MILES DAVIS. It was a genuine
moment of grace and Miles played his best hits
with the Gil Evans Orchestra and the George Gruntz
Concert Jazz Band, directed by the multi-talented
composer and musical productor, Sir Quincy Jones.

What
I like in Smooth Jazz is that it gives you happiness
and positive vibes. So if you are not well, instead
of consuming medicines or other pain killers,
the only recipe is to have a strong Smooth Jazz
Therapy. Believe me, you will feel much better
afterwards! |
