Read a review of Midaq Alleyhere
I am listening to this album right now and I am very pleased with it, often I get an idea of how music is before listening, based on (mode of) presentation, instrumentation and 'gut feeling'. I am happy to say that your music lives up to my expectations. The drumming, the strumming, the trumpeting and everything is perfect, this will be the soundtrack to many days and nights.
You have an extensive array of recordings, but I think I will take '3 miles from Mecca' next and see where I end up after that.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I came across your page by way of prognotfrog in case you are interested in such things, the blog jungle is truly extensive.
I wish you good times and further musical adventures.
