The Rough Guide To Arabic Jazz
This Rough Guide travels the Arab world exploring the depth and range of jazz interpretations heard across the region’s many nations and cultures. 

Lebanon’s rich musical melting pot is to thank for many of the tracks on this album. Haunting track ‘Harrama el-Nawma’ is by Rima Khcheich, a singer from Khiam in the south of the country. Lebanese trumpeter and composer Ibrahim Malouf’s ‘Nomade Slang’ is anchored by an undulating double-time drum pattern with sharp stinging horn lines and inquisitive rising bass figures. Another Beirut-born musician, Rabi Abou-Khalil, contributes the track ‘A Better Tomorrow’ with his masterful oud bringing out a slinky, seductive flavour with brushed drums and a languorous wind solo. ‘Masâr’ by Le Trio Jourban also spotlights the iridescent delicacy of the stringed oud. 

Ahmad Kaabour is also from Lebanon and a prominent cultural figure in the Middle East: his 1975 hit ‘Oundaikom’ became the anthem of the Palestinian struggle. ‘Abou Afif’ was released in 2012 and is a peppy, almost saccharine number that encapsulates the feel of modernist 1970s jazz. 

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. 

Karim Ziad is an Algerian jazz percussionist, guitarist and gumbri (Moroccan bass lute) player. Omar Faruk Tekbilek was born of Turkish and Egyptian parents and currently resides in America. ‘Dark Eyes’ is inspired by Sufi devotional music and ambient electronica. Maurice El Medioni stirs a potent punch with Cuban percussionist Roberto Rodriguez on closing track ‘Ana Ouna’.

Jazz is still pulsing through the veins of Arabic homelands and this Rough Guide offers up an insight in to the scene.

في بيروت تعلم ربيع أبو خليل عزف العود، وخرج ملحنا من الكونسرفتوار ليتجه إلى ألمانيا هربا من الحرب الأهلية اللبنانية، لينشط ذو البضع وخمسين عاما موسيقيا، وينضم لإحدى الفرق الألمانية، ويحقق تقدما سريعا جعلته ينفصل ليقدم موسيقاه الخاصة، دامجا الموسيقى العربية بالكلاسيكية الأوربية بالجاز والروك الأمريكي .
يحسب لأبو خليل أنه أوائل من أطلق عليهم لقب "موسيقي عالم" (world music) وذلك قبل أن تصبح الكلمة تصنيفا موسيقيا منفصلا .
يُتهم أبو خليل بأنهم يقوم بتمييع الموسيقى العربية بمزجه لها بالموسيقى الغربية، فيما يرد بأن موسيقى اليوم ما هي إلا نتاج لثورته الموسيقية هو بالأمس.

Rabih Abou-Khalil (ربيع أبو خليل) - Rabou Abou Kabou

Bazen geleneklerle yapılanlar sansasyon yaratır. FisFüz, geneneksel müzik öğeleriyle sansasyon yaratmanın sırrını çözmüş bir Türk-Alman grubudur. Grup, kendisini iki ulus ve kültür karşılaşması arasında kısıtlamıyor. Bunun yerine yaklaşık olarak 3000 yıllık kültür tarihi olan tüm Akdeniz ve Orta Doğu`yu müziğinin temeli olarak sayıyor. Müziklerinde hem çok eski ve gelenekselleşmiş hem de yepyeni öğeler, İspanyol, İtalyan, Türk, Oryantal ve Kuzey Afrika`ya özgü öğeler caz ile birliktebirleşiyor.

Bu albümde, yanlarında sayısız müzik aletleri ile birlikte yolculuğa çıkan müzisyenler, müziksel anlamda Akdeniz`i bir ucundan diğerine katediyor, Orta Doğu ülkelerinden geçip İran`ın uçsuz bucaksız topraklarını keşfedip Hint Yarımadası`nın güneyine Madras`a varıyor. Yol, hedef; oryantal zenginliklerin bolluğu ise müzikal azık onlar için. Bu kez perküsyonda uyumlu müzisyen ve bu heyecan verici müzikal yolculuk için ideal bir yoldaş olan olağanüstü Ramesh Shotham da gruba eşlik ediyor.
