Anouar Brahem Quartet - Jazz Classics
No one elicits sweeter melodic sighs from the short-necked lute oud than the Tunisian Anouar Brahem, a celebrated star on stages around the world.
The dialog between cultures is a matter close to his heart and he consciously avoids exotic clichés. Here the free spirit of improvisation, typical of modern jazz, meets the harmonies of Western compositional tradition and the refined forms of Eastern cultures. He achieved world fame with recordings for ECM - his collaboration with Dave Holland and John Surman remains unforgotten. One of his most beautiful albums is "The Astounding Eyes of Rita", recorded with a congenial quartet: Bjoern Meyer (bass), Klaus Gesing (bass clarinet, saxophone) and Khaled Yassine (darbouka, bendir).
