"Based on a review by National Public Radio, I bought this album. It's a very cool, very sophisticated blend of middle Eastern oud with piano, bass and vibraphone.Track #5 sounds a bit like "Happy Birthday", but still quite listenable."
It's got it all!

"Oh wow! Yum.
A mix of Western & Eastern Jazz together in one fantastic album! Marcel Khalife is a master oud player, & he has gathered together an international cast of piano, violin (MMMMMMMM - What else has Omar Guey done!??), vibraphone and bass. The whole cast is OUTSTANDING - Rami Khalife on piano, Peter Herbert on Double Bass, Bachar Khalife on Percussion....
It's sexy, sophisticated, energetic and inspiring!"
