Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Tunisian oud master collaborates with piano and accordion to create incredibly spacious, cross-cultural jazz improvisations. The minimalist compositions are characterized by their breathtaking patience, melancholic tone, and deep reliance on the ECM label's signature pristine acoustics. It is a masterful, deeply contemplative dialogue between Middle Eastern and European musical traditions.
