by Anouar Brahem, John Surman & Dave Holland

Thimar cover art

A profound cross-cultural dialogue released through the ECM label, this trio performance unites Tunisian oud master Anouar Brahem with British saxophonist John Surman and English bassist Dave Holland. The absence of traditional percussion allows their intricate, highly meditative interplay to breathe, merging complex Arabic microtones with fluid Western jazz improvisation.
