Ramin Roshandel & Jean-François Charles have worked on several projects together. Roshandel was the setār soloist for the premiere performances of Charles' opera Grant Wood in Paris in 2019. They performed together as part of the live soundtrack composed by Charles and Nicolas Sidoroff to the 1923 Hunchback of Notre-Dame movie, a commission by FilmScene with premiere performances in November 2023 in Iowa. As the Jamshid Jam duet, Ramin Roshandel and Jean-François Charles have developed a unique sound combining the traditions of Persian classical music and live electronic music. They have been creating this new shared musical language since their first concert in December 2019. They have been invited to perform in Chicago, Iowa City, Ames, Omaha, New-York City, Warrensburg, MI, and Tucson, AZ.

Their debut album, Jamshid Jam was nominated in Crossover Productions and World Music categories for Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik (German Record Critics’ Award 2022). It also received Global Music Awards’ Silver Medal for Outstanding Achievement in 2022.
