Anouar Brahem the Astounding Eyes Of Rita (CD, ECM, 2009) ****
Genre: ECM Jazz
Places I remember: Dubai Mall - Virgin Megastore
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: The Astounding Eyes Of Rita
Gear costume: Two great classy ECM covers on show.
Active compensatory factors: I prefer The Astounding Eyes Of Rita overall to Le Pas Du Chat Noir purely because of the accompanying instruments. I've touched on Rita before.

Anouar's oud is matched on Rita with bass, bass clarinet and darbouka, while Chat has piano and accordian.
Both have wonderful playing by all concerned, and room to breathe.
One of Jacky's horse friends was around home recently while Chat was playing and asked what the wonderful music was. Anouar's music is different, interesting and pleasing to the ear/air.
Where do they all belong? That's it for Anouar in the ECM CD pile.
