JAAFAR

LIVE COLLECTION VOL. 1

2003 - 2006

JAAFAR LIVE COLLECTION is the first in a series of live performances.
These 8 tracks are a nice example of the styles JAAFAR takes and makes into its own. With flute,sax, oud, Indian/Arabic/African percussions, 6 string bass/acoustic bass, keys, and powerhouse drumming/ tastefull jazz drumming, this CD expresses a true fusion of world ideas. Beautiful moments weaved with funk jamming, and Arabic voicings.
The best description for this CD is “MIDDLE EASTERN JAZZ ARABIC FUNK FUSION”.
