John Surman: From Boy Choirs to Big Horns
by John Kelman
It's increasingly risky to be a musician on the road. When British saxophonist John Surman was traveling from his home in Oslo, Norway, to New York City in September, 2007 for a recording session, he almost lost his baritone saxophone to the airlines. “It is a nightmare traveling now," says Surman, “and hardly a tour goes ...

by Jay Deshpande

Anouar Brahem: Innovative Weaver of Musical Heritages
by Eyal Hareuveni
Tunisian oud player Anouar Brahem's eighth solo release, Voyage de Sahar (ECM, 2006), is another testimony to the magnificent way that he manages to weave influences and references from the rich and beautiful heritage of Arabic world with elements of Andalusian music and modern jazz, and to the innovative way in which Brahem suggests the oud ...
Anouar Brahem: Le Voyage de Sahar
by Budd Kopman
Tunisian oudist Anouar Brahem has recorded for ECM since 1990; Le Pas du Chat Noir (2002) achieved the most critical acclaim. The trio which made that record comes together again for Le Voyage de Sahar, creating an understated tour de force that builds on the former album. While the “ECM sound" very much helps create the ...
Anouar Brahem: Le Voyage de Sahar
by Nenad Georgievski
Many of ECM's standout albums are a result of rich confluences of jazz, classical and world music sensibilities. The authors of those albums have a thorough, deep knowledge and understanding of each tradition, and most of the time the intersections between the different traditions are blessed with good results. Such is the case with Anouar Brahem. ...
Anouar Brahem: Le Voyage de Sahar
by John Kelman
Anouar Brahem's last international release, Le Pas du Chat Noir (ECM, 2002), was something of a watershed for the Tunisian oudist. Earlier records like Khomsa (ECM, 1995) and Thimar (ECM, 1998) found him exploring the nexus between traditional Middle Eastern harmonies and a more open-minded improvisational approach with artists like reed player John Surman, bassists Dave ...
Anouar Brahem Trio: Le Voyage de Sahar
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Tunisian master Anouar Brahem plays the oud, an eleven or twelve-string lute at the center of small-group Arabic classical music; he has impressive credentials in the jazz domain, having recorded with Jan Garbarek, John Surman and David Holland. Le Voyage de Sahar is Brahem's eighth original ECM release as a leader, and his second with a ...
Anouar Brahem: Le Pas du Chat Noir
by Sergio Masferrer
Anouar Brahem knows perfectly the formula to condense in the air the fragrance of incense, the visual impression of an orange-colored sky over the adobe terraces in Tunis, and a sea of reminiscences shaken up by his melodies. His music seems to be languid, but its lassitude takes you in, absorbs you, and softly converts any ...
