Iranian jazz

One of the pioneers of jazz music in Iran was Alfred Lazaryan, a little-known singer and dancer whose first recorded song made a hit on the Iranian national radio.

[3] Viguen's first song, Moonlight, which was released in 1954,[1] was also an instant hit on the radio,[3] and is considered to have marked a turning point in Iran's western-influenced music.

Her best-known work, Drunk With Love, is based on a poem by prominent 13th-century Persian poet Rumi.

[7] Bomrani, one of the first country blues bands in post-revolutionary Iran, was founded in 2008, as part of a new wave of influences onto the music stages of Tehran.

[9] Pallett, a similarly successful band that was formed in 2009,[10] composes jazz fusion of clarinet, cello, and double bass.
