That's got to be something else - apart from JT, Bela Fleck is one of my favourite musicians. I'll be ordering this.
Good luck

I had a chance to hear some rough mixes just after the studio sessions, and was blown away.
I think it's safe to say this will be an incredible album from Joe, James and friends.

The youtube vid sounds great - JT, you can't loose with these collaborators - and I like the riq as a drumset concept too ! Looking forward to the
album. Happy new year and all the best to you and your family.

IMHO This combo is better than one with "What-a-guy Abercromby". What to say but to .
Can we call this JT's oud music genre oo(ud)-bop.

Nice to see good old Roy Ayers still alive and having fun.
Can't wait to see this CD in European shops.

I like these videos, thanks for sharing 
Joseph gives the oud acclaim for Western ears and it is not nothing! Clichés die hard, and I appreciate to listen to the oud on jazz radio station.

Thanks Joe, a very interesting selection of tracks from the new album. Whilst we have heard some of these pieces previously, this instrumentation
brings a whole new (and delightful) feel. And your playing and that of James has never been better.
Dare I say that you guys are at the height of your powers on this album. Wonderful!
It is difficult to find words to describe the playing of your chosen side-men. All were spectacular. It is also hard to understand how jazz banjo and
the B3 could fit so well with oud, req and bendir, but they do. A great album, thanks Joe and James.
Regards,
Greg

Hi again,
any news about an European release date? Will it also be released by ABC Records in Europe?
So far I only found MP3 downloads, but sorry ... my ears hate MP3s for a good reason 
So I'm waiting for the CD.
Greetings from Germany
Chris
