Tarek Yamani’s critically acclaimed album “Lisan Al Tarab: Jazz Conceptions in Classical Arabic” is an exploration of classical Arabic music within the frameworks of African-American jazz. The result, a genre often dubbed as “Afro-Tarab” is jazz piano trio performance which will take the audience on a journey from late 1800’s Egypt and Iraq to contemporary New York. The repertoire will include reinterpretations of classical “muwashahat” (an old Arabic musical form), traditional music from Mesopotamia as well as original jazz compositions based on rhythms and modes from the Levant.
