Blue jewels (Anouar Brahem ) (LP 384 - 385)

Anouar Brahem Khomsa (CD, ECM, 1995) ***
Anouar Brahem Trio Astrakan Café (CD, ECM, 2000) ****

Genre: ECM jazz 

Places I remember: Virgin Megastore (Dubai Mall)

Fab, and all the other pimplyhyperboles/Gear costume: Astrakan Café  (part 1)
  
  

Active compensatory factors: I prefer the trio album for it's quieter contemplation - it's very hymnal in approach, but Khomsa gets applause for trying something different - the accordian interplay lends a new way to enjoy Anouar's genius.

He makes it look and sound so effortless - the mark of a master at work.

If you are into mindfulness, this could easily complement your routines.


Where do they all belong? Couple more Brahem CDs to come - involving a black cat and Rita's eyes!
