    One of the richest traditions in Near Eastern music is that of the Caucasus Mountains, and in particular, of Azerbaijan. The art music of Azerbaijan is closely related to Persian court music and reflects both ancient liturgical music and the vigorous folk of the various nomadic peoples who have inhabited, conquered or passed through the region over the centuries. Jeffrey Werbock is one of the few westerners who has mastered this highly complex music. He was taught by Zevulon Avshalomov, one of the acknowledged masters of Azerbaijani Mugham music and a fine instrument maker. Mr. Werbock studied for twelve years with the master, and was considered by Avshalomov as his prize pupil, and inheritor of this tradition. He has performed worldwide to high acclaim with his teacher, as a solo performer and in ensembles on the kamencheh, tar, gaval and oud. Mr. Webock is a fluent speaker of Azeri and is a wealth of knowledge on the history and traditions of the Caucasus which he shares during performances.
