Basel Rajoub-باسل رجوب

Charlie Chaplin Limelight

Djuwel Trio - Hiwaya

Original music composed, orchestrated and produced by MalekJandali (http://MalekJandali.com) founder of Pianos for Peace (http://PianosForPeace.org), inspired by African-American writer Rita Dove's fourth book of poems published in 1989. In music, grace notes are those added to the basic melody, the embellishments that - if played or sung at the right moment with just the right touch - can break your heart.  From the Silk Road to Manhattan's Little Syria to the cobblestone streets of SoHo, this album features the Malek Jandali Trio and the art of Taqasim, combining the Eastern sounds of oud with the Western harmonies of piano and cello.

Basel Rajoub is a Syrian saxophone player with a difference. Aleppo-born and Swiss-based graduate of Damascus High Institute of Music, Basel is a consummate performer, skilled improviser, and highly original composer creating new music that is rooted in a thousand-year-old tradition. Basel is known for developing oriental music for the saxophone and is dedicated to helping his audience discover contemporary expression of myriad melodic modes of Arabic music. An innovator both on stage and in the studio, Basel performs as a solo artist and a leader of the Basel Rajoub Ensemble.

“…performing on instruments that are not native to the Middle East, this artist exemplifies the talent, achievement, and breadth of a rising generation of cosmopolitan Arab musicians who combine jazz, classical music, the microtonal subtleties and myriad melodic modes of Arabic music.”

“… their music represents a sublime mix of spontaneity and control rooted in a thousand-year-old tradition of improvisation. Such music could only have emerged from artists whose own musical journeys have zigzagged back and forth between the Middle East and the West in unique ways, creating music that is at once seamless and surprising.”
