9 Days of Solitude, The Damascus Session
Oriental Jazz | Syria | 2007
The musicians of the group Hewar, who pursue their careers in different continents, have taken “9 days of solitude” off their busy schedules to record this new piece of work, thus pursuing their musical dialogue between oud, clarinet and voice, and inviting accordionist Manfred Leuchter from Germany and other talented musicians to participate in the experiment. The result is an album that is entirely marginal, fresh and spontaneous, and blends the varied personal influences and styles of the musicians.
