Beyond Traditions
Oriental Jazz | Lebanon | 2006
For his second album, Ziad Al Ahmadie chose to collaborate with Fun Jan Shaï, an oriental jazz band featuring 4 widely praised young Lebanese musicians: pianist Tarek Yamani, bass player Jean Madani, percussionist Khaled Yassine and drummer Fouad Afra. Al Ahmadie’s delightfully fresh compositions and Fun Jan Shaï’s masterful musical distribution and solos make this album a highly enjoyable experience.
