National Public Radio's, David
Luckin, host of the Electro Lounge, loved Rafael's "The Amelia Island Sun." He added it to his playlist on March 20 and played it for thousands of listeners in northwest Florida! Mr. Luckin said, "...what a great jazz infusion piece!"
THANK YOU, David Luckin! And thank you, Amelia Island!

Rafael Javadov performed at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
in Synetic Theater's new adaptation of "Carmen." Mr.
Javadov was on stage and above the stage, in costume, playing his
magnificent violin.
"The music is an eclectic blend of gypsy
folk ballads steeped in Romanian sounding chords tinged with funky
Latin rhythms, resulting in a sweet spot of international flavors.
Violinist Rafael Javadov
could easily fill Carnegie Hall-he hits unbelievably high notes in the
upper register, coaxes out soothing melodies, and strides with the rest
of the musicians on the jazzy riffed ballads."
