Description

The syncopated beats and counter-culture attitudes synonymous with universal jazz culture have been swinging in the Arab world since the early twentieth century. The western Arabic region, the Maghreb, has historic ties with Andalucian Spain and the stamping off-beats heard in flamenco, which feeds back into local jazz expressions. The eastern Mashriq region has a solid jazz heritage underlined by the careers of musicians such as drummer Salah Ragab who worked with outer-planetary superstar Sun Ra. The oeuvre of the Beirut-born Rahbani brothers, did much to expand the jazz vocabulary of Lebanon. Jazz is still pulsing through the veins of Arabic homelands and this Rough Guide offers up an insight in to the scene. Lebanon’s rich musical melting pot is to thank for three of the tracks on this album. Lebanese trumpeter and composer Ibrahim Maalouf’s opener, ‘Nomade Slang’, is anchored by an undulating double-time drum pattern with sharp stinging horn lines and inquisitive rising bass figures. It was Ibrahim’s musician father Nassim that altered his trumpet to four valves making it quarter-tone and allowing him to play Arabic maqamat (modes). Another Beirut-born musician contributes ‘A Better Tomorrow’. Rabih Abou-Khalil is a master oud player who brings out a slinky, seductive flavour with brushed drums and a languorous wind solo. The haunting track ‘Harrama el-Nawma’ is performed by Rima Khcheich, a singer from Khiam in the south of the country. Omar Faruk Tekbilek was born in Adana, Turkey, of Turkish and Egyptian parents and currently resides in America. ‘Dark Eyes’ is inspired by Sufi devotional music and ambient electronica. Le Trio Joubran hail from Nazareth, Palestine and offer up the track ‘Masâr’, a gently pulsing performance that illuminates the iridescent delicacy of the stringed oud. Daramad count in the proceedings with the track ‘Tigris Eye’. The band’s line-up features a mix of Persian and Australian musicians allowing them to create a delicate musical dialogue that discusses the confluence of traditional Eastern music and improvised jazz. Renaud García-Fons is a French composer who plays a five-string double bass. ‘SinaÏ’ is a pensive track that spotlights his remarkably resonant string tone that sounds like a viola at times. His sound is heavily influenced by his mentor Francois Rabbath and his interest in Syrian music, flamenco and the art of improvisation. The Rough Guide To Arabic Jazz also features a bonus album by Hijaz, a group formed by Tunisian master oud player Moufadhel Adhoum and pianist Niko Deman. Their album Chemsi, meaning ‘sun’, reflects the beauty and warmth of these stunning compositions.
