Thanks for the share. Thanks to you I discovered Joseph Tawadros. I love his fusion work in the JT Trio.

You are welcome. Joe's work is very unique, he manages to bridge eastern and western music in a brilliant fashion. His fusion is very distinct, it has a sweet arabic feel to it. You should listen to the hour of separation if you like his fusion.

Yes, this album is a must for Jazz lovers, as the The Astounding Eyes of Rita by Anouar Brahem too:

I can't tell you, which of these two albums I love more ;)

PS: There's third oud player, we shouldn't forget, if we talk about Jazz: Rabih Abou-Khalil:

Thanks for the suggestion, will do.
I saw Rabih Abou-Khalil at the Beirut Jazz Festival a few weeks ago and loved it. From the small sample of RAK and JT's work I would say that JT's fusion preserves a stronger Arabic color than RAK's.

I think that depends. R.A-K. created many very different works with different styles.

Just search Youtube, there are tons of videos of his works.
