Glow

Description

Which Way Music proudly releases this wonderful collaboration between two ever-growing musical wanderers. Dhafer Youssef is a Tunisian-born, Paris-based oud player and vocalist who has steadily integrated his Sufi traditions into a global tapestry of jazz, ambient and pop music via an acclaimed series of albums on Enja, and Universal. Wolfgang Muthspiel, hailed from a young age as one of the finest jazz guitarists of his era, has played with Dave Liebman, Peter Erskine, Paul Motian, Gary Peacock, and many more. He has also recorded and toured Australia with the MGT Guitar trio alongside Slava Grigoryan and Ralph Towner. On Glow, Muthspiel weaves sinewy, subtle tapestries in support of Youssef's oud and particularly his extraordinary, multi-octave voice. Further support is provided by the legendary trumpeter and flugelhornist Tom Harrell, drummer Alegre Correa and bassist Matthias Pinchler. Glow is is a largely improvised, timeless recording that will appeal to admirers of Miles Davis, Joe Zawinul, Anouar Brahem, Jan Garbarek and other musical free spirits.
