Hewar
Oriental Jazz | Syria | 2005
This is the first album by one of Syria’s most popular instrumental bands. The leader and clarinet player Kinan Al Azmeh is a graduate of the famous Juilliard School of music, and the only Arab musician to have received the first prize at the Rubinstein competition. The band also includes oud player and conductor of the Oriental Orchestra Issam Rafea and soprano Dima Orsho. Their music is a “dialogue” (Hewar) between jazz, classical and oriental music.
