"I wanted to bring together the oud and the guitar because I could hear the oud working so well with these two, and there�s something in the
way they improvise which reminds me of the Arabic taqasim, the free-time improvised introduction to the melodic material of a piece. But I�ve
tried to make the oud part of my complete musical experience, so that I can take it with me on any musical exploration without any preconceived idea
about its musical role."

Gord is a good friend of mine, and an amazing musician. I was lucky to be present at this recording session; this is definitely a special recording.
His other band Sangha is really great as well, with indian tabla and persian tar. Anyone in Vancouver should go check him out!
