The Boornazian / Fadini Group is a modern jazz quintet rooted in New York, co-led by Italian-born pianist Aleks Fadini and American saxophonist Josiah Boornazian.

Building on over a decade of collaboration, the group bridges aggressive post-bop improvisation with contemporary electro-acoustic sensibilities.
