Description
Jazz improvisation, syncopated beats and counter-culture attitudes have been swinging in the Arab world since the early twentieth century. The Rough Guide to Arabic Jazz explores today's thriving scene, revealing how blending jazz and Arabic music has created the most beautiful of musical concoctions.
Saxaphones and Ouds join forces in this seamless coming together of Arabic music and jazz; featuring many of the biggest names in Arabic music including Maurice El Médioni, Ibrahim Maalouf, Rabih Abou-Khalil and Le Trio Joubran.
