Iranian jazz refers to jazz music composed by Iranian musicians, sometimes combined with traditional Iranian elements.

## History
### Early years

Jazz music emerged in Iran along with the development of western influences into the pop music. 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. However, Lazaryan soon gave up singing. Viguen Derderian, a celebrated pop and jazz artist popularly known simply as "Viguen", began his career in the early 1950s. Viguen's first song, Moonlight, which was released in 1954, was also an instant hit on the radio, and is considered to have marked a turning point in Iran's western-influenced music. Viguen created some of Iran's most memorable songs, including collaborations with Delkash, and was known as Iran's "Sultan of Jazz".

### After the 1979 Revolution

A music group named Ejazz performed the first officially sanctioned jazz music concert in post-revolutionary Iran. They produced jazz fusion, incorporating elements from the indigenous classical music.
Rana Farhan, an Iranian jazz and blues singer living in New York, combines classical Persian poetry with modern jazz and blues. She has established a model to the jazz fusion project that she continues to incorporate in her work. Her best-known work, Drunk With Love, is based on a poem by prominent 13th-century Persian poet Rumi.
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. Pallett, a similarly successful band that was formed in 2009, composes jazz fusion of clarinet, cello, and double bass. They have garnered a huge following in Iran, and have also performed abroad.
# Walter Del Mar

Walter Del Mar (May 28, 1862, New York City – April 10, 1944, New York City) was a banker, stock broker, journalist, world traveller, and author of travel books.
His father was the economist and historian Alexander Del Mar, a New Yorker from a Marrano family. Walter Del Mar had thirteen siblings, of whom two sisters and four brothers survived to adulthood. During the early 1890s he was a financial correspondent in London. There he established his own banking firm, which became the London representative for several important American companies. In the first decade of the 20th century he travelled extensively in Asia and wrote three books about his travels. In 1914 he returned to New York City and lived there until his death in 1944.
Walter Del Mar bequeathed his letters, business papers, travel writings, and photograph albums to the New York Public Library. A lifelong bachelor, he was survived by two sisters and three brothers and their children.

## Story

The song tells the story of a young traveling man and hard-luck gambler who stops at a roadside bar. After watching one of the regulars, a middle-aged man, play pool for a while, the two strike up a conversation and agree to play a game. Eventually, the two play a long best-of series of the games, with the regular revealing himself to be a pro at the game who, under the guise of a friendly challenge, frequently hustles unwary opponents out of money.
The pro eventually winning all the main protagonist's money -- $187 plus his ring -- and leaves in a Cadillac with a beautiful young woman ("a blonde built like the rest of that car"). In the end, the protagonist asks the waitress out; the conversations with her had been interspersed occasionally with the main story.

# Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic

"Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic" is the first song on Purpendicular, Deep Purple's first studio album featuring guitarist Steve Morse. The song is notable for its use of pinch harmonics. It remained as the first song in the band's live sets after the album's release so that Morse could start the show by playing the first notes of the new album.
Vocalist Ian Gillan has stated that the lyrics are based on the true-life story of a man he once met in a pub during the recording sessions for the 1987 album The House of Blue Light. The two started talking, and Gillan wrote down the man's story on some napkins which he then put away and forgot about. He discovered them years later and they became the basis for the lyrics of "Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic". The song was a live staple during the Purpendicular tour, and was also played during more recent tours as well.
The "Vavoom" in the song's title comes from the end of each verse, where Gillan says the word, leading into the chorus. On all live albums that feature the song, though, the title is simply listed as "Ted the Mechanic".

* Ian Gillan – vocals
* Steve Morse – guitar

It was released on 29 December 1960, and failed to replicate the success of the Tamil original.

## Plot

After the passing of their parents, Devraj lives with his much younger brother, Ramu, in a small town in India. He marries Bindya, who moves in along with her mom, and brother, Raju. Devraj, who works with Rai Saheb Kedarnath, gets a promotion as a Government Contractor, and they move into a bigger house. Years later, Raju and Ramu have grown up, and Bindya's mom has passed on. While Raju has taken to petty crime and bad company, Ramu is more focused on his studies and has good sober habits. Devraj would like Raju to marry Rama, Kedarnath's daughter, but he subsequently finds out that she has fallen in love with Ramu. This news is met with anger by Raju, who swears to avenge this humiliation. Devraj's stepmother, Mrs. Ramnath, and her daughter, Nandini, move in with them - thus ending their idyllic lifestyle - with Devraj suspecting Bindya of having an affair with their cook, Chandan, and Bindya thinking that Devraj is having an affair with Nandini. Things get bad to worse, when Ramu is accused of stealing a diamond ring from Kedarnath's house, and the police are summoned.
