Ibrahim Maalouf: Live Tracks 2006-2016
Quello che non ci piace: l'atmosfera muscolare e da stadio che inevitabilmente si viene a creare quando da fenomeno del jazz Maalouf è passato a super star capace di riempire i palazzetti, la facilità nel passaggio da un singalong genuino e naturale al coro telefonato dal palco, le pose fin troppo da divo rock. Ma forse siamo noi a chiedere un po' troppo al trombettista franco-libanese che in quest'album-DVD ci racconta come in dieci anni sia riuscito a costruire una identità forte e una fedele fan-base attorno a sé. È infatti un live che somiglia a un greatest hits, volendo continuare nei parallelismi col mondo del pop, che preferiamo ascoltare piuttosto che osservare nei filmati.
E in effetti la pubblicazione, sempre targata Impulse!, pare proprio una dedica al pubblico che ha seguito Maalouf su palchi grandi e piccoli, un monumento eretto tanto a chi sta sul palco quanto a chi sta sotto ad ascoltare (e qualche volta a cantare).
